Required for implementing upcoming QStringView's member functions such
as compare(), indexOf(), endsWith(), ...
Most implementations of the function body just add the length to the
begin pointer to obtain an end pointer and then either no longer use
the length, or decrease it in lock-step with increasing the begin
pointer.
The only exception is MIPS DSP's qt_ucstrncmp_mips_dsp_asm(), which
gets the length passed in as an uint, implicitly converted from the
int parameter, proving that calling the function with negative length
was always undefined behavior, and therefore using an unsigned type
does not introduce incompatibilites.
I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell to fix the assembler
routine, but since the code is only included for MIPS32, we don't need
to do anything except be paranoid, add a static_assert that uint is
the same size as size_t, and keep calling the old code.
Dropped Q_COMPILER_LAMBDA in some places. We require lambdas since 5.7.
Also hold lambdas by value, not by reference. This stuff is supposedly
completely inlined, anyway, so there's no reason to make the code more
complicated with magic lifetime extension of temporaries bound to
references.
