[NTOS:KD] DbgKdGetStringApi implementation: Ensure the returned string is NULL-terminated.

Browse source 
Addendum to commit 84e32e4e.

Explain more accurately what's going on regarding the returned string
and the inaccurate claims made in the official DbgPrompt documentation
in MSDN. (Has been verified by looking through the traffic in WinDbg
debugging of Windows and ReactOS.)
