fix(from_str, try_from_into): custom error types

Browse Source 
Remove the use of trait objects as errors from `from_str` and
`try_from_into`; they seem to have caused a lot of confusion in
practice. (Also, it's considered best practice to use custom error
types instead of boxed errors in library code.) Instead, use custom
error enums, and update hints accordingly. Hints also provide
some guidance about converting errors, which could be covered
more completely in a future advanced errors section.

Also move from_str to directly after the similar exercise `from_into`,
for the sake of familiarity when solving.

Hint: Is there an implementation of `TryFrom` in the standard library that

If you're trying to return a string as an error, note that neither `str`
nor `String` implements `error::Error`. However, there is an implementation
of `From<&str>` for `Box<dyn Error>`. This means you can use `.into()` or
the `?` operator to convert your string into the correct error type.
Another hint: Look at the test cases to see which error variants to return.
