PR51018: Disallow explicit construction of StringRef from SmallString due to ambiguity in C++23
See bug for full details, but basically there's an upcoming ambiguity in the conversion in `StringRef(SomeSmallString)` - either the implicit conversion operator (SmallString::operator StringRef) could be used, or the std::string_view range-based ctor (& then `StringRef(std::string_view)` would be used) To address this, make such a conversion invalid up-front - most uses are more tersely written as `SomeSmallString.str()` anyway, or more clearly written as `StringRef x = y;` rather than `StringRef x(y);` - so if you hit this in out-of-tree code, please update in one of those ways. Hopefully I've fixed everything in tree prior to this patch landing.
