serge-sans-paille 1e6672af24 [Flang][Runtime] Simplify StringLength implementation ...

This implementation relies on arithmetic conversion, let's see what
happens when we do

    std::size_t length{std::strlen(string)};
    if (length <= std::numeric_limits<std::int64_t>::max())
        return static_cast<std::int64_t>(length);

1) if size_t == uint32_t (or lower), then the comparison operator
   invokes integral promotion to uint64_t, the comparison happens, it's
   fine.

2) if size_t == uint64_t, then the comparison is done between unsigned
   types, which implies a conversion of
   std::numeric_limits<std::int64_t>::max() to uint64_t, which happens
   without accuracy loss, fine

3) if size_t == uint128_t (or higher), then we invoke integral promotion
   of std::int64_t, it's also fine.

So this snippet has the same behavior as the existing one, while being
easier to read.
