Wolfgang Bumiller 9cdda3f7c7 tools: add helpful vector and read operations
After importing the I/O ops trait via:
    use crate::tools::io::ops::*;

Instead of:
    let mut buffer = vec![0u8; 65536];
    file.read_exact(&mut buffer)?;
use:
    let buffer = file.read_exact_allocated(65536)?;

After importing the vector helpers via:
    use crate::tools::vec::{self, ops::*};

For a buffer which *could* be uninitialized but you prefer
zero-initialization anyway for security reasons, instead of:
    let mut buffer = vec![0u8; len];
use:
    let mut buffer = vec::undefined(len);
which zero-initializes, but, if the `valgrind` feature flag
is enabled, marks the vector as having undefined contents,
so reading from it will cause valgrind errors.

//! This module provides additional operations for `Vec<u8>`.
//!
//! Example:
//! ```
//! use crate::tools::vec::{self, ops::*};
//!
//! fn append_1024_to_vec<T: Read>(input: T, buffer: &mut Vec<u8>) -> std::io::Result<()> {
//! input.read_exact(unsafe { buffer.grow_uninitialized(1024) })
//! }
//! ```
/// Some additional byte vector operations useful for I/O code.
/// Example:
/// ```
/// use crate::tools::vec::{self, ops::*};
///
/// let mut data = file.read_exact_allocated(1024)?;
/// do_something();
/// file.read_exact(unsafe {
/// data.grow_uninitialized(1024);
/// })?;
/// ```
///
/// Note that this module also provides a safe alternative for the case where
/// `grow_uninitialized()` is directly followed by a `read_exact()` call via the [`ReadExtOps`]
/// trait:
/// ```
/// file.append_to_vec(&mut data, 1024)?;
/// ```
///
/// [`ReadExtOps`]: crate::tools::io::ops::ReadExtOps
pub trait VecU8ExtOps {
/// Grow a vector without initializing its elements. The difference to simply using `reserve`
/// is that it also updates the actual length, making the newly allocated data part of the
/// slice.
///
/// This is a shortcut for:
/// ```
/// vec.reserve(more);
/// let total = vec.len() + more;
/// unsafe {
/// vec.set_len(total);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This returns a mutable slice to the newly allocated space, so it can be used inline:
/// ```
/// file.read_exact(unsafe { buffer.grow_uninitialized(1024) })?;
/// ```
///
/// Although for the above case it is recommended to use the even shorter version from the
/// [`ReadExtOps`] trait:
/// ```
/// // use crate::tools::vec::ops::ReadExtOps;
/// file.append_to_vec(&mut buffer, 1024)?;
/// ```
///
/// [`ReadExtOps`]: crate::tools::io::ops::ReadExtOps
