shassani b2d69aacf4 Helper function to get empty string on nullptr (#4800)
Adds helper function to get empty string when String is nullptr.

This is to get over the fact that flat buffer builders will record null when data
is not present.

Integration

For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked. This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string (flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if you would leave it in.
