Add substring API for `OsStr`

This adds a method for taking a substring of an `OsStr`, which in combination with [`OsStr::as_encoded_bytes()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ffi/struct.OsStr.html#method.as_encoded_bytes) makes it possible to implement most string operations in safe code.

API:
```rust
impl OsStr {
    pub fn slice_encoded_bytes<R: ops::RangeBounds<usize>>(&self, range: R) -> &Self;
}
```
