The vast majority of in-tree users pass simple and short C string
literals as the value. By porting to QByteArrayView, we document that
we'll accept non-NUL-terminated data, and do the NUL-termination
internally, using SSO'ed std::string, saving memory allocations in the
common case of short strings.
I didn't bother to check which direction std::string takes for
nullptrs these days (there was a change accepted in that area for
C++20 or 23), so play it safe and protect against them.
