Rework ast::BinOpKind::to_string and ast::UnOp::to_string.

- Rename them both `as_str`, which is the typical name for a function
  that returns a `&str`. (`to_string` is appropriate for functions
  returning `String` or maybe `Cow<'a, str>`.)
- Change `UnOp::as_str` from an associated function (weird!) to a
  method.
- Avoid needless `self` dereferences.
