On Windows and UEFI this improves performance and error messaging.
On other platforms we optimize the fast path a bit more.
This also prepares for later relaxing the checks on certain platforms.

Implement `TryFrom<&OsStr>` for `&str`
Recently when trying to work with `&OsStr` I was surprised to find this `impl` missing.
Since the `to_str` method already existed the actual implementation is fairly non-controversial, except for maybe the choice of the error type. I chose an opaque error here instead of something like `std::str::Utf8Error`, since that would already make a number of assumption about the underlying implementation of `OsStr`.
As this is a trait implementation, it is insta-stable, if I'm not mistaken?
Either way this will need an FCP.
I chose "1.64.0" as the version, since this is unlikely to land before the beta cut-off.

API Change Proposal: rust-lang/rust#99031 (accepted)
Add a `is_known_utf8` flag to `Wtf8Buf`, which tracks whether the
string is known to contain UTF-8. This is efficiently computed in many
common situations, such as when a `Wtf8Buf` is constructed from a `String`
or `&str`, or with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide` which is already doing UTF-16
decoding and already checking for surrogates.
This makes `OsString::into_string` O(1) rather than O(N) on Windows in
common cases.
And, it eliminates the need to scan through the string for surrogates in
`Args::next` and `Vars::next`, because the strings are already being
translated with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`.
Many things on Windows construct `OsString`s with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`,
such as `DirEntry::file_name` and `fs::read_link`, so with this patch,
users of those functions can subsequently call `.into_string()` without
paying for an extra scan through the string for surrogates.
This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
