Add `c_str!`, which is a convenience macro that creates a new `CStr`
from a string literal.

It is designed to be similar to a `str` in usage, and it is usable
in const contexts, for instance:

    const X: &CStr = c_str!("Example");

I wrote this code when `const_panic` was not yet stable. Now we have
stable const panic this function could be removed.

Indeed, we also took advantage of it in `static_assert!` when it got
stabilized but not here. I will update it.
