This PR proposes to use native calls for determining the string length for C-type strings. 

Smaller segments (<1024 bytes) is using a trivial call whereas all other segments are using a normal call. We might consider always using regular calls if we think most segments are unbound anyhow.

The PR also contains a number of new tests, one of which requires a large heap size to run. It is likely that this latter test will not run in most test environments. In such cases, it is silently ignored.
