* curve: rename `FieldElement*::as_bytes` => `::to_bytes`
Methods named `as_*` should perform a zero-cost borrowing conversion:
https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv
Methods named `to_*` can perform an expensive owned conversion.
Since the `FieldElement*` types are technically part of the public API
(but feature gated), this also preserves the old names with a
deprecation. We can remove them in the next breaking release.
The same change was also made to the backend `Scalar*` types, however
these types are not a part of the public API.
* Vendor import unsafe_target_features as curve25519-dalek-derive
