We can get the C types via libc, which supports no_std.

This requires removing use of Vec which would be a major change in API but probably worthwhile overall.

Good first step would be to just support no_std within botan-sys, which just requires using the libc types.

Prefer getting C types from libc instead of std::os::raw

This allows botan-sys to be no_std by default.

The wrapper crate relies on Vec, String, CString and may prove
difficult to convert to no_std, not really sure.

See #10

Think the trick is to implement no_std compatible APIs that write to/read from slices, and then in situations when std is available implement the current API on top of the no_std implementations.

FFI CString requires libstd so I think we are SOL here
