The usual method, and the one employed before my change, of displaying strings in natvis is to make use of the "<variable>,s" format specifier; however, this method only works for null-terminated strings. My fix here is to use the "<pointer>,[size]" format specifier to display a bounded array, and then cast it to "const char*", which in the MSVC debugger has the desired effect of rendering the character array as a string.

When visualizing small vectors in VS2015, show the first few elements in the DisplayString instead of the size. For example, a SmallVector of DeclAccessPair will visualize like
{public typename ...Ts, public typename U}
The visualization in VS2013 remains the same because we continue to include the old visualizer with a lower-than-default priority of MediumLow, and the same SmallVector would continue to be visualized as
{size = 2}

This allows ulittle* and ubig* types to be visualized properly
in VS.

When using Visual Studio 2015, cmake now puts the native visualizers in llvm.sln, so the developer automatically sees custom visualizations.
Much thanks to ariccio who provided extensive help on this change. (manual installation still needed on VS2013)
