pantonshire 82034e14d0 strings: pointer-to-reference functions for InliningString

Previously, several functions in the implementation of `InliningString`
converted raw pointers to references as part of large blocks of code,
either via deref coercion or via `slice::from_raw_parts`. This created a
risk of Rust inferring reference lifetimes that were too long; this is
bad because it could result in a use-after-free or mutable aliasing.
This patch moves pointer-to-reference conversions in `InliningString` to
dedicated helper functions with explicit or easily-elided lifetimes to
avoid this issue.

This patch also introduces a
`InliningString::take_boxed_buf_invalidating` method, which provides a
way to move the boxed buffer out of an `InliningString` without aliasing
the box's heap allocation (which is not allowed). The `Drop`
implementation is reworked to use this method, as well as
`InliningString::into_boxed_str`.
