Subject: [PATCH v2 19/28] rust: str: add `c_str!` macro

From: Gary Guo <gary@...yguo.net>

Add `c_str!`, which is a convenience macro that creates a new `CStr`
from a string literal.

It is designed to be similar to a `str` in usage, and it is usable
in const contexts, for instance:

    const X: &CStr = c_str!("Example");
