      Some systems we target (sometimes) like Solaris 10 don't have strnlen. We should add a configure check and optional polyfill for this function.

      The legacy C++ driver already does this, see:

      In the server repo, this function should probably live in mongo/stdx/string and be called stdx::strnlen.
