Subject[PATCH v1 16/28] rust: str: add `CStr` type
Date
From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

Add the `CStr` type, which is a borrowed string that is guaranteed
to have exactly one `NUL` byte, which is at the end.

It is used for interoperability with kernel APIs that take C strings.

Add it to the prelude too.
