Use length to ensure null chars do not cause early termination of C s…

…tring copies/reads (#272)

* Intro test case for null terminator string

* unexpected result: expected ss, got sx00s

* Fix the assertion, add Unicode symbols

* Pass go string length into v8::String::New to ensure it does not cut off
at null chars

* Reuse the existing RtnString type

* Formatting

* Update value_test.go

Co-authored-by: Dylan Thacker-Smith <dylan.smith@shopify.com>

* Table tests for NewValue

* Use std::string constructor in CopyString(Utf8Value) to keep whole
string

* Update changelog
