BufMut::put_bytes(self, val, cnt) (#487)

Equivalent to

```
for _ in 0..cnt {
    self.put_u8(val);
}
```

but may work faster.

Name and signature is chosen to be consistent with `ptr::write_bytes`.

Include three specializations:
* `Vec<u8>`
* `&mut [u8]`
* `BytesMut`

`BytesMut` and `&mut [u8]` specializations use `ptr::write`, `Vec<u8>`
specialization uses `Vec::resize`.
