src,test: fix up null char * exception thrown

Throw an exception when receiving a null pointer for the `char *` and
`char16_t *` overloads of `String::New` that looks identical to an
error that core would have thrown under the circumstances
(`napi_invalid_arg`).

Also, rename the test methods to conform with our naming convention.
