This is a workaround for InternPool currently not handling non-null-terminated strings. It avoids using the `bytes` storage for aggregates if there are any null bytes. In the future this should be changed so that the `bytes` storage can be used regardless of whether there are any null bytes. This is important for use cases such as `@embedFile`. However, this fixes a bug for now, and after this commit, stage2 self-hosts again. mlugg: stage5 passes all enabled behavior tests on my system.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
