Feature gate: #![feature(os_str_bytes)]

This is a tracking issue for cross-platform access to the underling bytes (&[u8]) for &OsStr by defining it as an unspecified superset of UTF-8.

Assumptions:

Owned variants of this API are not a blocker for stablization
Panicking and erroring variants of from_os_str_bytes_unchecked are not a blocker for stablization

impl OsStr { pub unsafe fn from_os_str_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &[u8]) -> &Self; pub fn as_os_str_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]; }

impl OsString { pub unsafe fn from_os_str_bytes_unchecked(bytes: Vec) -> Self; pub fn into_os_str_bytes(self) -> Vec; }

What should we refer to this as?
- Currently os_str_bytes
- encoded_bytes was another name that was brought up
