This is a simple implementation with a different API from the previous code, designed to be replaced with a more efficient implementation in the future.
Most of the domain name types have been integrated with 'NameBuilder', abandoning previous support for 'from_chars()' or 'from_symbols()' and instead focusing on 'FromStr'. More complex inputs should be processed directly using 'NameBuilder' instead.

This is primarily a performance enhancement. The idea is to require the storage backing
NameBuilderto always provide a fixed 256-byte array, rather than performing any dynamic allocations. SinceNameBuilders are transient objects, allocating a few more bytes won't hurt, especially if they can be put on the stack.I initially intended to make
NameBuilderjust take a reference to a[u8; 256]array somewhere in the caller's code. However, this would make it harder to storeNameBuilder(because you also need to store the backing buffer somewhere, and you can quickly run into self-referential lifetime issues). Instead, I use aBufferparameter that should implementBorrowandBorrowMut(notAsRef/AsMutas they don't have the blanketimpl Borrow<T> for T).This work will lead up to #388, making it easier to build domain names quickly. Note that I've dropped all support for
Symbolhere.
