gpt: harden set_gpt_info() against non NULL-terminated strings

Strings read from devices may sometimes fail to be
NULL-terminated.   The functions in lib/string.c are subject to
failure in this case.   Protect against observed failures in
set_gpt_info() by switching to length-checking variants with a length
limit of the maximum possible partition table length.  At the same
time, add a few checks for NULL string pointers.

Here is an example as observed in sandbox under GDB:

    => gpt verify host 0 $partitions
    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
