Implement From<&mut str> for String

I ran into this missing impl when trying to do `String::from` on the result returned from this API in the `uuid` crate:

https://docs.rs/uuid/0.8.1/uuid/adapter/struct.Hyphenated.html#method.encode_lower

I wasn't sure what to put in the stability annotation. I'd appreciate some help with that :)
