[llvm] [ADT] Simplify StringRef(const char *) (NFC) (PR #160038)

[Kazu Hirata via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/kazutakahirata created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/160038

This patch delegates the string length computation to
std::string_view.  This way, we don't have to worry about old GCC
versions or call __builtin_strlen on our own.
