This picks up from Michal Rostecki's work[0]. Per Michal's guidance I
have omitted Co-authored tags, as the end result is quite different.

Changes in v6:
- Split the work into several commits for ease of review.
- Restore `{from,as}_char_ptr` to allow building on ARM (see commit
  message).
- Add `CStrExt` to `kernel::prelude`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Remove `CStrExt::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut` and restore
  `DerefMut for CString`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Rename and hide `kernel::c_str!` to encourage use of C-String
  literals.
- Drop implementation and invocation changes in kunit.rs. (Trevor Gross)
- Drop docs on `Display` impl. (Trevor Gross)
- Rewrite docs in the style of the standard library.
- Restore the `test_cstr_debug` unit tests to demonstrate that the
  implementation has changed.

Changes in v5:
- Keep the `test_cstr_display*` unit tests.

Changes in v4:
- Provide the `CStrExt` trait with `display()` method, which returns a
   `CStrDisplay` wrapper with `Display` implementation. This addresses
   the lack of `Display` implementation for `core::ffi::CStr`.
- Provide `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut()` method in `CStrExt`,
   which might be useful and is going to prevent manual, unsafe casts.
- Fix a typo (s/preffered/prefered/).

Changes in v3:
- Fix the commit message.
- Remove redundant braces in `use`, when only one item is imported.

Changes in v2:
- Do not remove `c_str` macro. While it's preferred to use C-string
   literals, there are two cases where `c_str` is helpful:
   - When working with macros, which already return a Rust string literal
     (e.g. `stringify!`).
   - When building macros, where we want to take a Rust string literal as an
     argument (for caller's convenience), but still use it as a C-string
     internally.
- Use Rust literals as arguments in macros (`new_mutex`, `new_condvar`,
   `new_mutex`). Use the `c_str` macro to convert these literals to C-string
   literals.
- Use `c_str` in kunit.rs for converting the output of `stringify!` to a
   `CStr`.
- Remove `DerefMut` implementation for `CString`.
