Subject: [PATCH 3/3] string.h: Use ARRAY_SIZE() for memtostr*()/strtomem*()

The destination argument of memtostr*() and strtomem*() must be a
fixed-size char array at compile time, so there is no need to use
__builtin_object_size() (which is useful for when an argument is
either a pointer or unknown). Instead use ARRAY_SIZE(), which has the
benefit of working around a bug in Clang (fixed[1] in 15+) that got
__builtin_object_size() wrong sometimes.
