Auto merge of #91957 - nnethercote:rm-SymbolStr, r=oli-obk

Remove `SymbolStr`

This was originally proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74554#discussion_r466203544. As well as removing the icky `SymbolStr` type, it allows the removal of a lot of `&` and `*` occurrences.

Best reviewed one commit at a time.
