Updated to reflect the change from #71033. Any suggestions for clearer or more precise wording are welcome.
* Add "Safety" section describing UTF-8 invariant. * Remove mention of `from_utf8_mut`. It is not necessary to call a function to convert the byte slice back to a string slice. The original string becomes accessible again after the byte slice is no longer used (as shown in the example code).

@bors r+ rollup I think in theory we could relax even further -- e.g., calling this method on a non-UTF-8 str seems fine. But I think this is good enough for now and does not expand scope, so does not need T-libs/lang signoff. |

At some point we might want to be more clear about language-UB vs library-UB, but for now this wording seems fine to me.
