`opaque::Decoder::read_str` is very hot within `rustc` due to its use in the reading of crate metadata, and it currently returns a `String`. This commit changes it to instead return a `Cow<str>`, which avoids a heap allocation. This change reduces the number of calls to `malloc` by almost 10% in some benchmarks. This is a [breaking-change] to libserialize.

@eddyb: bleh, I pushed with some uncommitted changes. New version should be better. |
