Jani Nikula 3942bb4972 string: add mem_is_zero() helper to check if memory area is all zeros ...

Almost two thirds of the memchr_inv() usages check if the memory area is
all zeros, with no interest in where in the buffer the first non-zero
byte is located. Checking for !memchr_inv(s, 0, n) is also not very
intuitive or discoverable. Add an explicit mem_is_zero() helper for this
use case.
