child_process: validate arguments for null bytes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This change adds validation to reject an edge case where the
child_process API argument strings might contain null bytes
somewhere in between. Such strings were being silently truncated
before, so throwing an error should prevent misuses of this API.
