std::io: migrate ReadBuf to BorrowBuf/BorrowCursor

This PR replaces `ReadBuf` (used by the `Read::read_buf` family of methods) with `BorrowBuf` and `BorrowCursor`.

The general idea is to split `ReadBuf` because its API is large and confusing. `BorrowBuf` represents a borrowed buffer which is mostly read-only and (other than for construction) deals only with filled vs unfilled segments. a `BorrowCursor` is a mostly write-only view of the unfilled part of a `BorrowBuf` which distinguishes between initialized and uninitialized segments. For `Read::read_buf`, the caller would create a `BorrowBuf`, then pass a `BorrowCursor` to `read_buf`.

In addition to the major API split, I've made the following smaller changes:

* Removed some methods entirely from the API (mostly the functionality can be replicated with two calls rather than a single one)
* Unified naming, e.g., by replacing initialized with init and assume_init with set_init
* Added an easy way to get the number of bytes written to a cursor (`written` method)

As well as simplifying the API (IMO), this approach has the following advantages:

* Since we pass the cursor by value, we remove the 'unsoundness footgun' where a malicious `read_buf` could swap out the `ReadBuf`.
* Since `read_buf` cannot write into the filled part of the buffer, we prevent the filled part shrinking or changing which could cause underflow for the caller or unexpected behaviour.

## Outline

```rust
pub struct BorrowBuf<'a>

impl Debug for BorrowBuf<'_>

impl<'a> From<&'a mut [u8]> for BorrowBuf<'a>
impl<'a> From<&'a mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]> for BorrowBuf<'a>

impl<'a> BorrowBuf<'a> {
    pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
    pub fn len(&self) -> usize
    pub fn init_len(&self) -> usize
    pub fn filled(&self) -> &[u8]
    pub fn unfilled<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'a>
    pub fn clear(&mut self) -> &mut Self
    pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
}

pub struct BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data>

impl<'buf, 'data> BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data> {
    pub fn clone<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'data>
    pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
    pub fn written(&self) -> usize
    pub fn init_ref(&self) -> &[u8]
    pub fn init_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]
    pub fn uninit_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
    pub unsafe fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
    pub unsafe fn advance(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
    pub fn ensure_init(&mut self) -> &mut Self
    pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
    pub fn append(&mut self, buf: &[u8])
}
```

## TODO

* ~~Migrate non-unix libs and tests~~
* ~~Naming~~
  * ~~`BorrowBuf` or `BorrowedBuf` or `SliceBuf`? (We might want an owned equivalent for the async IO traits)~~
  * ~~Should we rename the `readbuf` module? We might keep the name indicate it includes both the buf and cursor variations and someday the owned version too. Or we could change it. It is not publicly exposed, so it is not that important~~.
  * ~~`read_buf` method: we read into the cursor now, so the `_buf` suffix is a bit weird.~~
* ~~Documentation~~
* Tests are incomplete (I adjusted existing tests, but did not add new ones).
