    Function: ft_strlen
    Purpose: Calculates the length of a string.
    How it works:
        1. Initializes a counter (len) to 0.
        2. Iterates through each character of the string (s).
        3. Increments the counter (len) until the null-terminator is encountered.
        4. Returns the counter as the length of the string.
