/// A message reception buffer that can either contain a borrowed slice or own a memory allocation,
/// with customizable growth behavior, including memory quotas.
///
/// This type can be created from a buffer that lives on the stack:
/// ```
/// # use {core::mem::MaybeUninit, recvmsg::MsgBuf};
/// // An uninitialized buffer:
/// let mut arr = [MaybeUninit::new(0); 32];
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(arr.as_mut());
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(buf.init_part().len(), 0); // Assumes nothing about the buffer.
/// assert_eq!(buf.filled_part().len(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg); // No message is contained.
///
/// // A fully initialized buffer:
/// let mut arr = [0; 32];
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(arr.as_mut());
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 32);
/// // Whole buffer can be passed to methods that take &mut [u8]:
/// assert_eq!(buf.init_part().len(), 32);
/// // Whole buffer is not assumed to be filled:
/// assert_eq!(buf.filled_part().len(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg); // Not assumed to already contain a single received message.
/// ```
///
/// Or one on the heap via [`Box`]:
/// ```
/// # extern crate alloc;
/// # use {alloc::boxed::Box, core::mem::MaybeUninit, recvmsg::MsgBuf};
/// // An uninitialized buffer (yes, the annotations are necessary):
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(Box::<[MaybeUninit<_>]>::from([MaybeUninit::new(0); 32]));
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_init(), 0);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_filled(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg);
///
/// // A fully initialized buffer:
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(Box::<[u8]>::from([0; 32]));
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_init(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_filled(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg);
/// ```
///
/// Or in a `Vec`:
/// ```
/// # extern crate alloc;
/// # use {alloc::vec::Vec, core::mem::MaybeUninit, recvmsg::MsgBuf};
/// // An uninitialized buffer:
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(Vec::with_capacity(31)); // Size can be odd too!
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 31);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_init(), 0);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_filled(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg);
///
/// // A partially initialized buffer:
/// let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(32);
/// vec.resize(6, 0);
/// let buf = MsgBuf::from(vec);
/// assert_eq!(buf.capacity(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_init(), 6);
/// assert_eq!(buf.len_filled(), 0);
/// assert!(!buf.has_msg);
