[PATCH v1 19/28] rust: str: add `c_str!` macro

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Thu Nov 10 2022 - 11:44:33 EST


From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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");
