What's the advantage of still using __builtin_strlen? Will gcc or clang still end up producing a constant in some scenarios that they wouldn't if just strlen was used?

Well... libstdc++ __builtin_strlen in char_traits, so I guess there's that.

There was some benefit to the debug codegen at some point but probably no longer matters on newer compilers.

More importantly, strlen is not constexpr.

The added test fails on gcc 14 because of the call to
__builtin_strlen, so just avoiding it during constant evaluation. Fixed #4423.
