lib: add glibc style strchrnul() variant
The strchrnul() variant helpfully returns a the end of the string instead of a NULL if the requested character is not found. This can simplify string parsing code since it doesn't need to expicitly check for a NULL return. If a valid string pointer is passed in, then a valid null terminated string will always come back out. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org>
