Compare tmux bytes against a string without converting either.

tmux text is bytes, but the thing it is usually compared against is a
literal. Requiring `.as_bytes()` at every comparison put the burden on the
common case to serve the rare one.

Text that is not valid UTF-8 never equals a `str`, which is the honest
answer: a `str` cannot hold those bytes, so nothing it contains can match.

## Example

```rust
use libtmux::TmuxText;

assert_eq!(TmuxText::from("editor"), *"editor");
assert!(TmuxText::from("editor") == "editor");
assert!(TmuxText::from(vec![0xff]) != "\u{fffd}");
```
