 The SOCKS server code goes to some trouble to handle any NULs embedded in
 SOCKS 4 authentication strings and SOCKS 5 usernames and passwords, and it
 records the lengths of those strings in the `socks_request` field of the
 `edge_connection_t`.  Then the stream-isolation code uses `strdup` and
 `strcmp` on them as if they were NUL-terminated strings.

 We should handle NULs embedded in those strings properly everywhere, and
 we should probably also use a comparison function that runs in data-
 independent time when comparing them.
