vtkStdString: deprecate the implicit `const char*` conversion

Ben Boeckel requested to merge ben.boeckel/vtk:vtkStdString-deprecate-implicit-conversion into master

First, the conversion operator is missing the const qualifier, so it doesn't work on const vtkStdString& anyways. In addition, it is easy to leak a pointer to stack-managed memory.

In the future, vtkStdString itself will be deprecated in preference for just using std::string directly.

Blocked on !9355 (merged).
