libceph: define ceph_extract_encoded_string()
This adds a new utility routine which will return a dynamically- allocated buffer containing a string that has been decoded from ceph over-the-wire format. It also returns the length of the string if the address of a size variable is supplied to receive it. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@inktank.com> Reviewed-by: Sage Weil <sage@inktank.com>
