const-cstr is Unsound

The crate violates the safety contract of ffi::CStr::frombyteswithnulunchecked used in ConstCStr::as_cstr

No interior nul bytes checking is done either by the constructor or the canonical macro to create the ConstCStr

Additionally the crate may cause runtime panics if statically compiled and ran with any untrusted data that is not nul-terminated.

This is however unlikely but the the crate should not be used for untrusted data in context where panic may create a DoS vector.

The below may or may not provide alternative(s)
