Add string constructor and concat routines taking explicit length args (

espressif#5586)

## Summary
Applies the upstream changes here: arduino/ArduinoCore-API@3b88acac8^...0d83f1a

## Impact
Adds new String convenience methods that are now available in the mainline Arduino implementation, simplifying interoperability with C code that uses pointer+length strings rather than 0-termination. Also includes a change to avoid mutating the source string when taking a substring.
