Auto merge of #21488 - aturon:os-str, r=alexcrichton
Per [RFC 517](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/575/), this commit introduces platform-native strings. The API is essentially as described in the RFC.
The WTF-8 implementation is adapted from @SimonSapin's [implementation](https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-wtf8). To make this work, some encodign and decoding functionality in `libcore` is now exported in a "raw" fashion reusable for WTF-8. These exports are *not* reexported in `std`, nor are they stable.
