Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] rust: str: make `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`
 const

This method was probably kept non-const due to the absence of the
`const_mut_refs` feature, but it has been enabled since the introduction
of this code (and stabilized with Rust 1.83). Thus, make it const to
match its non-const counterpart.
