Overlay over bigarrays of chars

Bigstring

NOTE: I recommend using bigstringaf now. It has fast operations written in C and is better maintained.

A set of utils for dealing with bigarrays of char as if they were proper OCaml strings.

Usage

#require "bigstring";;
#install_printer Bigstring.print;;
module B = Bigstring;;

# let s1 = B.of_string "  abcd ";;
val s1 : B.t = "  abcd "

# let s2 = B.trim s1;;
val s2 : B.t = "abcd"

# B.index ~c:'b' s2 ;;
- : int = 1

# let str = "__";;
val str : string = "__"

# B.blit_of_string str 0 s2 1 2;;
- : unit = ()

# s2;;
- : B.t = "a__d"

Add I/O functions

Hi,
would you mind adding those two functions to bigstring-unix? They need C stubs. Otherwise I would like to publish them as bigstring-io. inhabitedtype/bigstringaf#34
I could prepare a pull-request, of course.
These are the functions I'd like to add:

val read  : Unix.file_descr -> ?off:int -> ?len:int -> t -> int
val write : Unix.file_descr -> ?off:int -> ?len:int -> t -> int

New release with dune please :)
