  Log Message:
  -----------
  [lldb] Consistently use "null-terminated" across LLDB (NFC) (#224801)

It appears that both spellings are correct, but "null terminator" is far
more common, while "NUL terminator" is technically precise regarding the
ASCII character name. Most common in LLDB was "NULL terminated" which is
the worst of both worlds. This rallies around "null-terminated".

- Adjective -> null-terminated
- Verb -> null-terminate
- Nouns left unhyphenated but lowercased: null terminator, null
termination
