Guide: strings

I decided to change it up a little today and hack out the beginning of the String guide. Strings are different enough in Rust that I think they deserve a specific guide, especially for those who are used to managed languages.

I decided to start with Strings because they get asked about a lot in IRC, and also based on discussions like this one on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2ac390/generic_string_literals/

I blatantly stole bits from our other documentation on Strings. It's a little sparse at current, but I wanted to start somewhere.

I am not exactly sure what should go in "Best Practices," and would like the feedback from the team on this. Specifically due to comments like this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2ac390/generic_string_literals/citmxb5
Nitpick: Do we have precedence for using "an" instead of "a" here? I read that as "A string literal is a static string slice", whereas I assume "an" comes from "A string literal is an ampersand static str".
