It's a little silly to have methods with the exact same semantics as std::simd but under different names. This PR aligns the API for converting SIMD vectors to arrays with std::simd so that fearless_simd would be a drop-in replacement as far as these methods are concerned:
as_arraybecomesto_arrayas_array_refbecomesas_arrayas_array_mutbecomesas_mut_arrayI didn't change methods loading arrays and slices because that's not a drop-in replacement either way due to these functions also accepting a SIMD token. We might choose to align them later, but this PR should be an uncontroversial starting point.
