buffer_slice now returns a value (slice_type): a buffer for a single buffer self-slice, otherwise a borrowed slice_of view. The result is a buffer sequence directly, with no .data() and no Slice concept to bind. slice_of constructs in a single forward pass to the cut points.

Consumption moves to a dedicated consuming_buffers cursor: data() exposes the remaining bytes and consume(n) advances in place. It borrows the sequence and is not itself a buffer sequence. read, write, and write_now drive it.

Removes the now-unused Slice/MutableSlice concepts and slice_impl.
