Rollup merge of #75265 - WaffleLapkin:str_split_as_str, r=dtolnay

Add `str::{Split,RSplit,SplitN,RSplitN,SplitTerminator,RSplitTerminator,SplitInclusive}::as_str` methods

tl;dr this allows viewing unyelded part of str-split-iterators, like so:
```rust
let mut split = "Mary had a little lamb".split(' ');
assert_eq!(split.as_str(), "Mary had a little lamb");
split.next();
assert_eq!(split.as_str(), "had a little lamb");
split.by_ref().for_each(drop);
assert_eq!(split.as_str(), "");
```

--------------

This PR adds semi-identical `as_str` methods to most str-split-iterators with signatures like `&'_ Split<'a, P: Pattern<'a>> -> &'a str` (Note: output `&str` lifetime is bound to the `'a`, not the `'_`). The methods are similar to [`Chars::as_str`]

`SplitInclusive::as_str` is under `"str_split_inclusive_as_str"` feature gate, all other methods are under `"str_split_as_str"` feature gate.

Before this PR you had to sum `len`s of all yielded parts or collect into `String` to emulate `as_str`.
