Summary: check_tcp w/ expect string doesn't work w/ nulls in data

Initial Comment:
I have a tcp service that generates a pattern that I
can test
for using the -e flag. However the data stream is binary
and nulls are embedded in the data stream and prevent
strstr() from recognizing the pattern in the stream.

E.G. set up a server that spits out

  \000 h e l l o

then use check_tcp -e "hello".

One way to do this is to use memchr and the length of the
data returned in the my_read call from the tcp socket to
implement a null agnostic strstrb() replacement for
strstr().
