* @brief Encode a null terminated string using [Run-length encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding)
* @section Description
* Run-length encoding is a lossless compression algorithm.
* It works by counting the consecutive occurences symbols
* and encodes that series of consecutive symbols into the
* counted symbol and a number denoting the number of
* consecutive occorences.
*
* For example the string "AAAABBCCD" gets encoded into "4A2B2C1D"
