Remove exotic string types from scalar type slide (#593)

When teaching the class, I’ve noticed that raw strings and byte
strings tend to cause confusion. The slide is meant to be a friendly
introduction and show how Rust is similar to other languages like C
and C++. Instead, the string types cause a ton of questions which are
unnecessary at this early point.

The information is still there, but now in the form of a speaker note.

There are a few syntaxes which are not shown above:
- Raw strings allow you to create a `&str` value with escapes disabled: `r"\n"
== "\\\\n"`. You can embed double-quotes by using an equal amount of `#` on
either side of the quotes:
```rust,editable
fn main() {
println!(r#"<a href="link.html">link</a>"#);
println!("<a href=\"link.html\">link</a>");
}
```
- Byte strings allow you to create a `&[u8]` value directly:
```rust,editable
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", b"abc");
println!("{:?}", &[97, 98, 99]);
}
```
