Fix #2853: split HasMutatorBytes trait into two traits. (#2856)

(See #2853.)

This commit attempts to improve the [`HasMutatorBytes`] trait to allow it to
be used along with input types that cannot be resizable.

[`HasMutatorBytes`] is split into two traits:

 - [`HasMutatorBytes`]: requires `bytes` and `bytes_mut`.
 - `HasMutatorResizableBytes`: requires [`HasMutatorBytes`], and also requires
   a few other methods for resizing / shrinking the underlying input type.


N.B.: I believe that if merged, this would introduce a breaking change.
