rust: transmute: add `as_bytes` method for `AsBytes` trait

Every type that implements `AsBytes` should be able to provide its byte
representation. Introduce the `as_bytes` method that returns the
implementer as a stream of bytes, and provide a default implementation
that should be suitable for any type that satisfies `AsBytes`'s safety
requirements.

build with Rust 1.78.]
