Subject: [PATCH] libstring_helpers.c:string_get_size(): return void
string_get_size() was documented to return an error, but in fact always
returned 0. Since the output always fits in 9 bytes, just document that
and let callers do what they do now: pass a small stack buffer and ignore
the return value.
