Series [1/3,V2] lib: fix match_string() helper on -1 array size | expand

Commit Message

This change re-introduces `match_string()` as a macro that uses
ARRAY_SIZE() to compute the size of the array.

After this change, work can start on migrating subsystems to use this new
helper. Since the original helper is pretty used, migrating to this new one
will take a while, and will be reviewed by each subsystem.
