Rollup merge of #72688 - djugei:master, r=Amanieu

added .collect() into String from Box<str>

I have not created an rfc, because i felt like this is a very minor change.

i have just set a random feature name and rust version as stability attribute, i expect to have to change that, i just don't know what the policy on that is. all guides i could find focused on contributing to the compiler, not contributing to the standard library.

drawbacks: more code in the standard library, could be replaced with specialization: base-implementation for AsRef\<str> and specialization for String and Cow. i can write that code if ppl want it.

advantages: using "real strings" i.e. Box\<str> is as ergonomic as string slices (&str) and string buffers (String) with iterators.
