Replace `io::Cursor::{remaining_slice, is_empty}`
This is a late follow up to the concerns raised in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86369.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86369#issuecomment-953096691
> This API seems focussed on the `Read` side of things. When `Seek`ing around and `Write`ing data, `is_empty` becomes confusing and `remaining_slice` is not very useful. When writing, the part of the slice before the cursor is much more interesting. Maybe we should have functions for both? Or a single function that returns both slices? (If we also have a `mut` version, a single function would be useful to allow mutable access to both sides at once.)
New feature name: `cursor_remaining` > `cursor_split`.
Added functions:
```rust
fn split(&self) -> (&[u8], &[u8]);
// fn before(&self) -> &[u8];
// fn after(&self) -> &[u8];
fn split_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut [u8], &mut [u8]);
// fn before_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8];
// fn after_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8];
```
A question was raised in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86369#issuecomment-927124211 about whether to return a lifetime that would reflect the lifetime of the underlying bytes (`impl Cursor<&'a [u8]> { fn after(&self) -> &'a [u8] }`). The downside of doing this would be that it would not be possible to implement these functions generically over `T: AsRef<[u8]>`.
## Update
Based on the review, before* and after* methods where removed.
