Module timely_communication::allocator::zero_copy

Allocators based on serialized data which avoid copies.

These allocators were based on Abomonation serialization, and its ability to deserialized typed Rust data in-place. They surfaced references to data, often ultimately referencing the raw binary data they initial received.

For the moment, they no longer use Abomonation due to its unsafety, and instead rely on the use of Message::from_bytes which .. could .. use Abomonation or something safer, but uses bincode at of this writing.
