           Summary: [bytereader] add misc. string functions and

I'd like to add the following functions to GstByteReader:

    bytereader: add a bunch of utility functions for strings and a data dup
function

    API: gst_byte_reader_dup_data
    API: gst_byte_reader_skip_string
    API: gst_byte_reader_skip_string_utf8
    API: gst_byte_reader_skip_string_utf16
    API: gst_byte_reader_skip_string_utf32
    API: gst_byte_reader_peek_string
    API: gst_byte_reader_peek_string_utf8
    API: gst_byte_reader_peek_string_utf16
    API: gst_byte_reader_peek_string_utf32

They're useful for tag/chunk/atom parsing (making sure that theres's actually a
full 0-terminated string in the byte reader).
