rust: str: add `CStr` methods matching `core::ffi::CStr`

Prepare for replacing `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` by soft-deprecating
methods which don't exist on `core::ffi::CStr`.

We could keep `as_bytes{,_with_nul}` through an extension trait but
seeing as we have to introduce `as_char_ptr_in_const_context` as a free
function, we may as well introduce `to_bytes{,_with_nul}` here to allow
downstream code to migrate in one cycle rather than two.
