Auto merge of #132549 - Zalathar:rust-string, r=cuviper
Make `RustString` an extern type to avoid `improper_ctypes` warnings Currently, any FFI function that uses `&RustString` needs to also add `#[ignore(improper_ctypes)]` to silence a warning. The warning is not _completely_ bogus, because `RustString` contains `Vec<u8>` and therefore does not have a guaranteed layout. But we have no way of telling the lint that this doesn't matter, because the C++ code only uses that pointer opaquely and never relies on its underlying layout. Ideally there would be some way to silence `improper_ctypes` at the type-definition site. But because there isn't, casting to and from a separate extern type is better than having to annotate every single use site.
