fix(try_from_into, from_str): hints for dyn Error

Browse source 
Add hints about how to return the correct type for functions that
return `Result<_, Box<dyn Error>`. Some feedback from Discord suggests
that people run into trouble with that.

You might want to look back at the exercise errorsn (or its hints) to remind
yourself about how `Box<dyn Error>` works.
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.
If you're having trouble with using the `?` operator to convert an error string,
recall that `?` works to convert `Err(something)` into the appropriate error
type for returning from the function."""
