[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Streamline ConstString -> std::string conversion (NFC) (PR #79649)

[Jonas Devlieghere via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/JDevlieghere created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/79649

Make it easier to go from a ConstString to a std::string without having to go through a C-String or a llvm::StringRef. I made the conversion operator explicit as this is a relatively expensive operations (compared to a StringRef or string_view).
