Subject: [PATCH] add destruct method to Literal and Quad

This is (again) useful for building bridges to other APIs.

Note that NamedNode already has this (into_string),
that BlankNode kind of has it (id)
and that Quad has incomplete versions of it (subject_owned, predicate_owned...).
So I don't think those are too disruptive.
