DESCRIPTION
        Unsigned string. Second argument is the length of the string.

        Formatting:    SILC_STR_UI32_NSTRING(unsigned char *, SilcUInt32)
        Unformatting:  SILC_STR_UI32_NSTRING(unsigned char **, SilcUInt32 *)

        Unformatting procedure will check for length of the string from the
        buffer before trying to get the string out. Thus, one *must* format the
        length as UI_INT or UI_SHORT into the buffer *before* formatting the
        actual string to the buffer, and, in unformatting one must ignore the
        length of the string because unformatting procedure will take it
        automatically.

         Example:

         Formatting:    ..., SILC_STR_UI_INT(strlen(string)),
                             SILC_STR_UI32_NSTRING(string, strlen(string)), ...
         Unformatting:  ..., SILC_STR_UI32_NSTRING(&string, &len), ...

        I.e., you can ignore the formatted length field in unformatting. The
        length taken from the buffer is returned to the pointer sent as
        argument (&len in above example).

        UI8, UI16 and UI32 means that the length is considered to be
        either char (8 bits), short (16 bits) or int (32 bits) in
        unformatting.

        _ALLOC routines automatically allocates memory for the variable sent
        as argument in unformatting.
