Virgil Dupras 2d17b4e8ec Make string length-prefixed instead of null-terminated

I'm not sure why I chose null-terminated initially. Probably because
the z80asm version had null-terminated strings.

Length-prefixes strings are the traditional form of strings in Forth
and it's a bit easier to work with them with traditional forth words
when they're under this form.
