Subject: [PATCH] Add From<&[T]> and From<&mut [T]> for TinyVec

This adds the From trait impls for `&[T]` and `&mut [T]` to `TinyVec`,
though unfortunately until we get lazy normalization, it currently
requires that the `A: Array<item = T>` bound also be `Default`, so
it does not work for array sizes > 32.
