Deserialization of strings is incorrect about cyclonedds-cxx HOT 2 CLOSED

1. getting a length field of 0 should never appear in valid CDR data, as the length field for a string includes the terminating NULL (CORBA v3.3 9.3.2.7) so this is always a minimum of 1, but since the reading has to be able to correctly handle even incorrect CDR streams, a check on string_length > 0 is a necessary addition, the fix for this is already in PR #112
2. this is indeed an error, as the CDR stream that you provide is correct, there is an issue with the entity being read with the cursor from before the alignment step is done, i will work on a fix for this

The stream you provided is in little-endian format, which is not reflected in the endianness flag set in the message header (byte offset 1 = 0x0)

That's because of my incorrect hand serialization, but the header should actually reflect little endianness (offset 1 = 0x1)
