[21362] Fail when trying to serialize std::string with null characters on its content

[MiguelCompany]

Description

This addresses #69 and #214 by explicitly failing to serialize a string that contains null characters, instead of silently discard the last part of the string.

@Mergifyio backport 2.1.x 1.0.x
Note: I'm not sure whether we should backport this to 1.x.

Not sure, the standard says that for strings, the terminating null character is not transmitted. Not sure if that implies that the string can have null characters in the middle. I'd say we can handle that on a different PR
