This PR removes
uninitialized_box
as well as uninitialized fat references, replacing them with fat pointers thanks to thearbitrary_self_types
feature.Two instances of uninitialized references remains. One is blocked on rust-lang/rfcs#2017. It could be removed if we're okay with
<dyn Trait as Type>::dangling()
returning pointers with a fixed alignment (say 64 or 4096?). The other is blocked on getting slice length from a pointer; this could be removed if we're okay with assuming the layout and getting it ourselves.
