[PATCH 3/6] internal: Add STRLIM macro for checking string length using strnlen()

As a microoprimization when checking whether length of a string fits
into a limit we don't necessarily need to calculate the full lenght but
can use strnlen to check only LIMIT+1 chars. Add a macro which will
simplify the expressions.
