Motivation:
Users who want to use typed throws would benefit from us propagating the
thrown error type through our APIs. Most of our surface doesn't allow
for that because it relies on standard library APIs that haven't been
updated, but we can do it for ByteBuffer which is entirely ours.
Modifications:
- Adopt typed rethrows in ByteBuffer
Result:
Users have an easier time working with ByteBuffer
### Motivation:
Documentation checking catches more issues in Swift 6.0.
### Modifications:
Adopt the Swift 6.0 image and fix the errors.
### Result:
More accurate docs.
Add functions for reading and writing length-prefixed data with
customizable encodings for the length, particularly for quic
variable-length integers (RFC 9000)
### Motivation:
Many protocols require us to write data and then prefix that data with
its length. But each protocol has a different way of encoding the
length. This PR introduces general purpose functions which can be
extended for different encoding strategies
### Modifications:
Create a new protocol which defines how to encode an integer
Implement this protocol for QUIC
Provide functions on bytebuffer for writing length-prefixed buffers,
strings or bytes
