…s, r=steveklabnik Add note on `str` being an unsized type in strings section of book The book section on Rust strings mentions `&str` and `String` but does not address why `str` is not used directly. This adds a short blurb and a link to the unsized types chapter. The second draft of the book will go more in-depth on this, but this should help a bit for now. Thanks #rust for clarifying this point, and let me know if it needs rewording or different placement 😄. CC @steveklabnik @Kimundi
