perf: Switch to &'static str by default #4223

The overall hope is to allow a `&'static str`-only version of clap, so we need to move off of `Str` where dynamic strings are required. We need it here for subcommands due to external subcommands. This had minimal impact on code size (567.2 to 567.5 KiB)
This is a more familiar type for people and it didn't cost us anything (in fact it undid the code size change in the last commit).
This reverts commit c9d883a.
This reverts commit 429143a.
Originally, clap carried a lifetime parameter. When moving away from that, we took the approach that dynamically generated strings are always supported and `&'static str` was just an optimization. The problem is the code size increase from this is dramatic. So we're taking the opposite approach and making dynamic formatting opt-in under the `string` feature flag. When deciding on an implementation, I favored the faster one rather than the one with smaller code size since small code size can be gotten through other means. Before: 567.2 KiB, 15.975 µs After: 541.1 KiB, 9.7855 µs With `string`: 576.6 KiB, 13.016 µs
