The intial motivation for this commit was to merge in some of the
bugfixes present in Samba3's chrcnv and string handling code into
Samba4. However, along the way I found a lot of unused functions, and
decided to do a bit more...
The strlen_m code now does not use a fixed buffer, but more work is
needed to finish off other functions in str_util.c. These fixed
length buffers hav caused very nasty, hard to chase down bugs at some
sites.
The strupper_m() function has a strupper_talloc() to replace it (we
need to go around and fix more uses, but it's a start). Use of these
new functions will avoid bugs where the upper or lowercase version of
a string is a different length.
I have removed the push_*_allocate functions, which are replaced by
calls to push_*_talloc. Likewise, pstring and other 'fixed length'
wrappers are removed, where possible.
I have removed the first ('base pointer') argument, used by push_ucs2,
as the Samba4 way of doing things ensures that this is always on an
even boundary anyway. (It was used in only one place, in any case).
