zstring_span and czstring_span

[cbeck88]

The Microsoft GSL contains a special string span called zstring_span used to represent a string span known to have a null-terminator. This can be useful for interacting with legacy APIs, and avoiding use of raw pointers / calls to ::strlen except at API boundary.

See "class basic_zstring_span" and typedefs for zstring_spanandczstring_span`:
https://github.com/Microsoft/GSL/blob/master/include/gsl/string_span#L389

It appears to me that gsl-lite doesn't have these types -- is that intentional or merely an oversight? Would you accept a patch to provide them?

I might have simply missed the addition of zstring_span and siblings to M-GSL.

I'd welcome a PR to add these, preferably including test cases (and entry in the table under Features).

ToDo:

• Add tests
• Add entry in the table under Features.
