Rollup merge of rust-lang#72689 - lcnr:common_str, r=estebank

add str to common types

I already expected this to be the case and it may slightly improve perf.

Afaict if we ever want to change str into a lang item this would have to get reverted.
As that would be fairly simple I don't believe this to cause any problems in the future.
