Allow casting between slices of ZSTs and slices of non-ZSTs in all cases. (#256)

Casting ZST to non-ZST will result in a slice length of 0.
Casting non-ZST to ZST will only work if the input slice has length 0, and results in a slice length of 0; if the input slice is not of length 0, PodCastError::OutputSliceWouldHaveSlop is returned.

Updates the docs of the PodCastError variants to reflect when they can occur.
Updates the docs of try_cast_slice (and checked::) to remove note about ZST <-> non-ZST not being allowed.
Update bytes_of(_mut) to remove ZST check, since casting [ZST] -> [u8] is now allowed directly using cast_slice(_mut).
Update must_cast_slice checks and doctests to allow [ZST] -> [non-ZST], but disallow [non-ZST] -> [ZST].
