This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire `std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`. [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary changes being: * The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice` method. * The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the trailing nul byte if necessary. * All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust slice of `u8`. Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in the RFC.
