ByteReader.dupStringUtf8

Free-function: g_free

FIXME:Reads (copies) a NUL-terminated string in the gst.ByteReader.ByteReader instance, advancing the current position to the byte after the string. This will work for any NUL-terminated string with a character width of 8 bits, so ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-N etc. No input checking for valid UTF-8 is done.

This function will fail if no NUL-terminator was found in in the data.
