adding tests specifically to exercise pybind11::str::raw_str

Preparation for simplification of pybind11::str::raw_str:
These tests assert current behavior, which is meant to not change in the subsequent simplification of pybind11::str::raw_str.

These tests will also alert us to any behavior changes across Python and PyPy versions.
