The two methods added take a slice of bytes and return those bytes in a specific type. These methods are useful when we need to transform the stream of bytes into specific type. Since the `is_aligned` method for pointer types has been stabilized in `1.79` version and is being used in this patch, I'm enabling the feature. In this case, using this method is useful to check the alignment and avoid a giant boilerplate, such as `(foo.as_ptr() as usize) % core::mem::align_of::<T>() == 0`. Also add `#[allow(clippy::incompatible_msrv)]` where needed until the MSRV is updated to `1.79`.
