rust: alloc: implement `Borrow` and `BorrowMut` for `Vec`

Implement `Borrow<[T]>` and `BorrowMut<[T]>` for `Vec<T>`. This allows
`Vec<T>` to be used in generic APIs asking for types implementing those
traits. `[T; N]` and `&mut [T]` also implement those traits allowing
users to use either owned, borrowed and heap-owned values.

The implementation leverages `as_slice` and `as_mut_slice`.
