fixed_string: why we need another string type and how to produce a never-dangling string_view

Room: C27 3.010 - C27 Ebene 3 std::fixed_string is currently in review for C++26. std::string, std::string_view, and string literals are currently not valid non-type template parameters (NTTP). std::fixed_string wants to fill that hole.
