add ChunkStrings for splitting a string slice into fixed-size batches

ChunkStrings cuts a slice into consecutive pieces of at most the requested
size, with the leftovers in the last piece, and returns copies so the pieces
cannot disturb each other. Comes with a doc comment and table-driven tests.
(closes #3)
