Leftovers from rust-lang#39594; From<Box> impls

These are a few more impls that follow the same reasoning as those from rust-lang#39594.

What's included:
* `From<Box<str>> for String`
* `From<Box<[T]>> for Vec<T>`
* `From<Box<CStr>> for CString`
* `From<Box<OsStr>> for OsString`
* `From<Box<Path>> for PathBuf`
* `Into<Box<str>> for String`
* `Into<Box<[T]>> for Vec<T>`
* `Into<Box<CStr>> for CString`
* `Into<Box<OsStr>> for OsString`
* `Into<Box<Path>> for PathBuf`
* `<Box<CStr>>::into_c_string`
* `<Box<OsStr>>::into_os_string`
* `<Box<Path>>::into_path_buf`
* Tracking issue for latter three methods + three from previous PR.

Currently, the opposite direction isn't doable with `From` (only `Into`) because of the separation between `liballoc` and `libcollections`. I'm holding off on those for a later PR.
