YAMLIO: Fix serialization of strings with embedded nuls

Summary

A bug/typo in Output::scalarString caused us to round-trip a StringRef
through a const char *. This meant that any strings with embedded nuls
were unintentionally cut short at the first such character. (It also
could have caused accidental buffer overruns, but it seems that all
StringRefs coming into this functions were formed from null-terminated
strings.)

This patch fixes the bug and adds an appropriate test.
