[PATCH v4 5/7] rust: str: use transmute in `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`
From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Sun Jun 15 2025 - 23:35:57 EST
`from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked` also does this, so do the same for
symmetry. This was probably not done due to the unavailability of the
`const_mut_refs` feature at the time this code was introduced.
