Call to grow(), while it does not hurt correctness, would not be
necessary here, but let's take this code as-is.  As the result of Q
encoding (and B encoding as well) always is longer than the decoded
result, strbuf_grow(out, q_seg->len) would always be over-allocating,
but it would not hurt too much.

Ditto.

The remainder of the patch also looks good.

Thanks.
