libnv: verify that string is null terminated

Description

libnv: verify that string is null terminated

During unpacking, we ensure that we do not read beyond the
declared size. However, unpack uses a function that copies
null-terminated strings. Prior to this commit, if the last string
was not null-terminated, it could result in copying data into a
buffer smaller than the allocated size.
