`Io` trait now has a single required method with many more provided
methods. Provided methods may want to rely on their implementations to not
be arbitrarily overridden by implementers for correctness or soundness.
A good example is the `size` method, it may be relied by unsafe code and
thus must be consistent with the metadata obtained from `as_ptr`.
Thus, create a new trait to host `size` method, extract existing provided
methods to the new trait, and provide a blanket implementation. This
pattern is used extensively in userspace Rust libraries e.g. `tokio` where
`AsyncRead` has minimum methods and `AsyncReadExt` is what users mostly
interact with.
To avoid changing all user imports, the base trait is renamed to `IoBase`
and the newly added trait takes the existing `Io` name.
