wrapper: add function to compare strings with different NUL termination

When parsing capabilities for the pack protocol, there are times we'll
want to compare the value of a capability to a NUL-terminated string.
Since the data we're reading will be space-terminated, not
NUL-terminated, we need a function that compares the two strings, but
also checks that they're the same length.  Otherwise, if we used strncmp
to compare these strings, we might accidentally accept a parameter that
was a prefix of the expected value.

Add a function, xstrncmpz, that takes a NUL-terminated string and a
non-NUL-terminated string, plus a length, and compares them, ensuring
that they are the same length.
