Closes #162226.

Sadly win32 doesn't allow \0 characters inside the CF_UNICODETEXT clipboard. To prevent it, I replaced the null terminator with the \uFFFD (replacement character: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+FFFD).
I replaced the string type to a string view to also store the size on the way so it doesn't break on the way if there are null terminators.

Currently a draft since I don't have tests yet.

Code Review

This pull request updates Windows clipboard handling to correctly process and replace embedded null characters with the replacement character \uFFFD, and transitions string parameters to std::string_view to support explicit lengths. Feedback recommends removing top-level const qualifiers from std::string_view parameters passed by value in function declarations, definitions, and mock methods, as they are redundant and add visual noise.

This looks like a solid change, thanks!

I just have a documenting request so that the quirk is obvious to future readers of this code.
