Merge #19004: refactor: Replace const char* to std::string

c57f03ce17 refactor: Replace const char* to std::string (Calvin Kim)

Pull request description:

  Rationale: Addresses #19000
  Some functions should be returning std::string instead of const char*.
  This commit changes that.

  Main benefits/reasoning:

  1.  The functions never return nullptr, so returning a string makes code at call sites easier to review (reviewers don't have to read the source code to verify that a nullptr is never returned)
  2. All call sites convert to string anyway
