rust: str: add `c_str!` macro
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"); Co-developed-by: Alex Gaynor <alex.gaynor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Gaynor <alex.gaynor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> [Reworded, adapted for upstream and applied latest changes] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
