This is more conventional in the Zig standard library, and it allows us to now rename the pushBytes function to pushString to make it more discoverable
The toBytes function can always be replaced with toString now. Although it is useful to have two push functions (one for slices and one for zero-terminated slices), when returning a value from Lua, always having a zero-terminated Zig slice with a length is useful.
For the same reasons as described in previous commits, these functions can be removed in favor of the String versions
* addString -> addStringZ * addBytes -> addString
There are a few cases where we can use a [:0] instead of a [*:0] to be less restrictive.
I can't think of a better name at the moment, but at least this is an improvement

The commit messages should hopefully be clear. This renames functions that use "Bytes" in the name to "String" and any function that used "String" to refer to zero-terminated strings to be "StringZ".
Also cleans up a few places where
[*:0]or[:0]were misplaced.Part of #37
