rust: transmute: add `from_bytes_copy` method to `FromBytes` trait
`FromBytes::from_bytes` comes with a few practical limitations: - It requires the bytes slice to have the same alignment as the returned type, which might not be guaranteed in the case of a byte stream, - It returns a reference, requiring the returned type to implement `Clone` if one wants to keep the value for longer than the lifetime of the slice. To overcome these when needed, add a `from_bytes_copy` with a default implementation in the trait. `from_bytes_copy` returns an owned value that is populated using an unaligned read, removing the lifetime constraint and making it usable even on non-aligned byte slices.
