f0ce956f73 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
The duped string is already NUL-terminated.
There is no need to do it again.

dad58d7392 Add a g_ref_string_new_len() to allow creating from non-NUL byte arrays
A lot of GLib APIs provide a string length and explicitly say that the strings
are not NUL terminated. For instance, parsing XML using GMarkupParser or
reading packed binary strings from mmapped data files.

cfe962a5dc Add missing trasfer annotation for g_ref_string_new()
We don't have one, but we ought to.

4248b4b300 Fix the implementation of interned refstrings
The global hash table we use for interned strings should not own a
reference on the strings themselves, as otherwise we'd leak them all
over the place.

Instead, it should keep a "weak" reference to them; once the last
strong reference goes away, we drop remove the weak reference from the
hash table.

32ecb86f5b Add length accessor for GRefString
Since we store the size of the allocation in the underlying ArcBox, we
can get a constant time getter for the length of the string.

00a723f597 Add reference counted strings
The last part of the reference counting saga.

Now that we have:

 - reference counter types
 - reference counted allocations

we can finally add reference counted strings using reference counted
allocations to avoid creating a new String type, and reimplementing
every single string-based API.
