While the anonymize_mem() interface _can_ store arbitrary byte
sequences, none of the callers uses this feature (as of the previous
commit). We'd like to keep it that way, as we'll be exposing the
string-like nature of the anonymization routines to the user. So let's
tighten up the interface a bit:
- don't treat "len" as an out-parameter from anonymize_mem(); this
ensures callers treat the pointer result as a NUL-terminated string
- likewise, don't treat "len" as an out-parameter from generator
functions
- swap out "void *" for "char *" as appropriate to signal that we
don't handle arbitrary memory
- rename the function to anonymize_str()
This will also open up some optimization opportunities in a future
patch.
Note that we can't drop the "len" parameter entirely. Some callers do
pass in partial strings (e.g., "foo/bar", len=3) to avoid copying, and
we need to handle those still.
