Avoids the use of the null pointer to represent an empty string.
Instead, we can simply pass an empty string_view instance. Using
std::string_view enforces this invariant at the API level.
Due to the lack of cast here, this will actually print out the ascii
value, rather than the character itself, due to promoting to integral
values. Instead, we can eliminate the use of character operands and just
print the value itself directly, given it's equivalent behavior with
less code.
Allows these arrays to be placed within the read-only segment (and
enforces the immutability in the code itself). While we're at it, we can
make use of std::array here.
fmt diverges from printf in that '.' as a precision specifier may only
be used for floating-point values (makes sense, given it's indicating
precision after the decimal point).
Begins the transition to using fmt for string formatting where
applicable. Given fmt supports formatting std::string instances out of
the box, we can remove now-unnecessary calls to .c_str() and .data().
Note that this change does not touch the actual logging subsystem aside
from converting the final StringFromFormat call in the process over to
fmt::format. Given our logging system is heavily used throughout the
entire codebase, and converting that over will be quite a large change
by itself, this will be tackled near the end of the conversion process.
