Fixes #2428

I borrowed ideas from the following StringPiece implementations:

  1. TensorFlow's
  2. RE2's
  3. ICU's
  4. Go's strings package

// StringPiece points into a std::string object but doesn't own the
// string. It is for efficient access to strings. Like Go's string
// type. StringPiece is not thread-safe.

Since StringPiece is immutable, it would be thread-safe as long as the underlaying string is not mutated during the lifetime of StringPiece.

Maybe we could change "StringPiece is not thread-safe." to "StringPiece is thread-safe as long as the underlying string is not mutated."?

Doing this!

StringPiece::StringPiece(const char* s) : data_(s) {
size_ = (s == NULL) ? 0 : strlen(s);

if we use strlen here, we are limiting ourselves to c-string that ends with 0.

Perhaps StringPiece::StringPiece(const char* s, int size) could be more general (supports any char array, could have 0 in the body). Since std::string supports 0 in the body, maybe we need to support as well.

Got it. If we have a C string const char* a, we can create a StringPiece using

StringPiece s(std::string(a));

Done, delete it.

Oh. I tried it and it seems that we should leave it there; otherwise, we would have to write the following test assertion

EXPECT_EQ("app", TrimSuffix(StringPiece("apple"), "pl"));

in a much more complicated way:

EXPECT_EQ(std::string("app"), 
     TrimSuffix(StringPiece(std::string("apple")), StringPiece(std::string("pl")));

I see, I think we can keep it. LGTM!

LGTM after StringPiece::StringPiece(const char* s) is deleted.
