buffer-view: introduce lttng_buffer_view_contains_string

This function can be used to safely validate that a string in a buffer
view has the length we expect.  The goal is to avoid doing any reads
outside the buffer view, whatever the input is, considering that the
buffer and advertised length of the string are untrusted data.

It will be used by subsequent patches to deserialize strings from
received buffers.
