Implement Arbitrary for AsMut<[T: Arbitrary]> #291

Description

@cyphar

Because of #265, it's no longer possible to do something like

#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
#[cfg_attr(test, derive(PartialEq, Eq))]
struct Foo {
    foo: ChaChaPolyNonce, // has a BorrowMut<[u8]> impl
}

#[cfg(test)]
impl quickcheck::Arbitrary for Foo {
    fn arbitrary(g: &mut quickcheck::Gen) -> Self {
        let mut foo = ChaChaPolyNonce::default();
        g.fill_bytes(&mut foo); // No more RngCore!
        Self { foo }
    }
}

But it seems as though it would be reasonable to simply have an Arbitrary implementation for &mut [T: Arbitrary] that does fill_bytes internally.
