rust: str: add conversion from `CStr` to `CString`
These methods can be used to copy the data in a temporary c string into a separate allocation, so that it can be accessed later even if the original is deallocated. The API in this change mirrors the standard library API for the `&str` and `String` types. The `ToOwned` trait is not implemented because it assumes that allocations are infallible.
