Continuation of the approach from #24 which replaces `ArrayOps<T, N>` bounds with `ArraySize<ArrayType<T> = [T; N]>`. Though a bit more verbose, this makes the inner type of `Array` explicit and therefore allows more safe conversions as well as making `unsafe` code easier to reason about, since the inner type is no longer implicit. This doesn't go as far as to remove the `ArrayOps` (and `SliceOps) trait(s) yet, but that should now be possible.

After #24, #25, and #26, these traits don't really need to exist and have largely been replaced by safe type conversions with appropriate bounds. In lieu of `ArrayOps<T, N>` we instead can use `U: ArraySize<ArrayType<T> = [T; N]>>` as a bound, which albeit a bit more verbose concretely describes the inner type of `Array` to the compiler. The `cast_slice_(to|from)_core(_mut)` methods previously defined on the trait have been preserved, but as static methods of `Array`, making the change largely a drop in replacement. Places where they were being called as e.g. `ArrayOps::cast_slice_to_core` just need to be called as `Array::cast_slice_to_core` instead.
