Minor corrections:
- Reading uninitialized memory in Rust isn't just unsafe, it's UB.
- WASM doesn't do the reading, the JS users do.

Hm ... I was making a note for Rust users as well, that when receiving MaybeUninit there is nothing to worry about. But does that even make sense?
Maybe the note should only talk to JS users?

You're right, that's a good idea. I think it would be good to say that data coming from JS is always initialized, so taking a &[MaybeUninit<u8>], while supported, typically doesn't make sense.

Okay, after a lot of different tries I arrived at the current state. I was trying not to explain Rust or Wasm but stay concise to what users need to know only for this feature and nothing else.

Let me know if you want me to improve anything still, we can do that in a follow-up.

As discussed in #541. This PR adds the following improvements: - Caching of the global `Crypto` object. - Detecting if our Wasm memory is based on a `SharedArrayBuffer`. If not, we can copy bytes directly into our memory instead of having to go through JS. This saves allocating the buffer in JS and copying the bytes into Wasm memory. This is also the most common path. `SharedArrayBuffer` requires `target_feature = "atomics"`, which is unstable and requires Rust nightly. See #559 (comment) for full context. - The atomic path only creates a sub-array when necessary, potentially saving another FFI call. - The atomic path will now allocate an `Uint8Array` with the minimum amount of bytes necessary instead of a fixed size. - The maximum chunk size for the non-atomic path and the maximum `Uint8Array` size for the atomic paths have been increased to 65536 bytes: the maximum allowed buffer size for `Crypto.getRandomValues()`. All in all this should give a performance improvement of ~5% to ~500% depending on the amount of requested bytes and which path is taken. See #559 (comment) for some benchmark results. This spawned a bunch of improvements and fixes in `wasm-bindgen` that are being used here: - rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#4315 - rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#4316 - rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#4318 - rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#4319 - rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#4340

This PR adds support for numeric slice types with
MaybeUninit<T>. While, generally in Rust, unsafety requirements have to be kept by the user, this isn't unsafe in Wasm to begin with, so there is no concern in this regard.The use case here is interfacing with cross-platform Rust code where using this type probably made much more sense.
