This PR separates
BytesintoBytesandBytesMut. The former implementsclone()and is unwriteable. The latter does not implement clone but is writeable. One goes from the latter to the former with thefreeze()method.The intent is to minimize the use of
BytesMut, which is narrowed only to moments within the writing to aBytesSlab. As soon as the writing completes it yields aByteswhich is from that point on unwriteable.One of the goals is to make serialized messages cloneable, so that broadcast channels can more efficiently be implemented.
