LOG: [ADT] Use std::string_view inside StringRef (#113775)

This patch makes minimum changes to replace Data and Length with an
instance of std::string_view.

Previously, I opted for public inheritance (#113752), but I
encountered a lot of errors from gcc stemming from ambiguity between
std::string_view and StringRef.

The composition approach in this patch gives us greater control at the
expense of forwarder functions.
