ABI refactoring: sequence and array of text: copy input as string

Within the lttng-modules writeback instrumentation, which exposes a
tracepoint probe API similar to LTTng-UST, we had a long standing issue
where a fixed-size array of text was used to copy a string input into
the trace.

This is fine as long as the input string is actually backed by a
fixed-size array, but if the input string is variable-size, and may be
smaller than the array size, this led to out-of-bound memory reads
beyond the input string NULL terminating character.

Change the behavior of the array/sequence of text to stop copying the
input as soon as the array/sequence size limit (-1) or the input's NULL
terminating character is found, and add zeroed padding for the rest of
the array/sequence within the ring buffer.
