[PATCH v4 3/5] string: add strends() helper to check if a string ends with a suffix

[Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>]

Add strends() helper to check if a string ends with a suffix. The
unreadable strends is chosen to keep consistency with the parallel
strstarts helper used to check if a string starts with a prefix.

To prevent out-of-bounds read, len of string is checked against the
prefix length before comparing the 2 string at the offset.
