Add TryFrom<&[u8]> bound to Encoding::Repr

[fjarri]

This helps with deserialization - one doesn't need to create a mutable buffer and use a special purpose deserialize mutating its argument (like serdect does currently), but instead one can just use a standard deserialize with the API compatible with that of #[serde(with)] that returns the Repr object.

I don't think the error type is particularly relevant here? Do we really need to mandate it?

[fjarri]

It helps a lot with writing down trait bounds in the user code. See rust-lang/rust#113517 for example.

To add to that, even with the workaround in the issue above, it does not work when another level is added. That is, if the foo() in the issue is a serde-standard deserialize() function, and I want to make a custom deserializer using serde_with as

impl<'de, const N: usize> serde_with::DeserializeAs<'de, Uint<N>> for UintWrapper<N>
where
    Uint<N>: Encoding,

there is no way to write trait bounds that would tell the compiler that the returned error is Display (so that it could be wrapped in the serde error).

[tarcieri]

Okay, if there's a legitimate use case I guess we can include it.

It's just a completely useless error that includes no relevant information, so it's easily handled without bounding on it by using .ok() or .map_err(...).

But if it helps with serde, I guess that's fine.

[fjarri]

This one is pretty useless, I agree. But if you have a function that is generic on something that's TryFrom<&[u8]> and you want the error to be Display (because it may be useful for some types, so you don't want to discard it), fixing the error in this specific case helps with the bounds. I don't particularly like it either, but unfortunately Rust compiler is currently not smart enough to handle bounds without it. I think it should be pretty harmless, since it's essentially an internal trait that's not supposed to be used outside of the crate.

Also note: this is a breaking change, so we can't merge it until the next breaking release.

Bumped version to v0.6.0-pre in #295. Merging
