strnlen.c support

strnlen.c is a widely available function in open systems/open source. Currently we have to code our way around this not being natively available in z/OS c/c++. strlen.c is available on z/OS and it would be a great enhancement for us if strnlen.c was added to the supported functions on z/OS.
