Now that we have a
DecodeOwnedtrait and initial support for on-the-fly PEM decoding, it makes sense to add owned forms of all of the various reference types.This brings up a question of naming: we can either add
*Ownedto all of the owned types or add a*Refto all of the existing reference types.This PR chooses to do the latter, renaming all of the reference types to make room for the owned types.
Owned types are easier to work with and probably preferable for anyone who can depend on
allocexisting, so this PR gives them the shorter name.The following types are renamed:
Any=>AnyRefBitString=>BitStringRefIa5String=>Ia5StringRefOctetString=>OctetStringRefPrintableString=>PrintableStringRefUtf8String=>Utf8StringRefAlso renames the newly introduced
BitStringOwnedtype toBitString.
