lib: add generic strnlen_user() function
This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the
<asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure to portably do efficient string
handling.
In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we
can always pre-align the words we load from memory. That means that all
the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily
be used on any architecture. You obviously do have to do the
appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros.
