1. Constructors, SetData(), and AppendData() now accept uint8_t*,
int8_t*, and char*. Previously, they accepted void*, meaning that
any kind of pointer was accepted. I think requiring an explicit
cast in cases where the input array isn't already of a byte-sized
type is a better compromise between convenience and safety.
2. data() can now return a uint8_t* instead of a char*, which seems
more appropriate for a byte array, and is harder to mix up with
zero-terminated C strings. data<int8_t>() is also available so
that callers that want that type instead won't have to cast, as
is data<char>() (which remains the default until all existing
callers have been fixed).
3. Constructors, SetData(), and AppendData() now accept arrays
natively, not just decayed to pointers. The advantage of this is
that callers don't have to pass the size separately.
4. There are new constructors that allow setting size and capacity
without initializing the array. Previously, this had to be done
separately after construction.
5. Instead of TransferTo(), Buffer now supports swap(), and move
construction and assignment, and has a Pass() method that works
just like std::move(). (The Pass method is modeled after
scoped_ptr::Pass().)

And add a constructor for creating an uninitialized Buffer of a
specified size.
(I intend to follow up with more Buffer changes, but since it's rather
widely used, the rename is quite noisy and works better as a separate
CL.)

This is something I stumbled upon while looking at string copying we do (in spades) and did a simple change to not be constantly copying things around needlessly. There's a lot more that can be done in these files of course so this is sort of a reminder for future code edits that it's possible to design interfaces/function in a way that's more performance aware and avoid forcing creation of copies, while still being very simple. Also, we can use lambdas now :)
