Fixes #39. Rust arrays coerce to slices, so raw.copy_from_slice(&buf[..4]) has a [u8; N] destination; the emitted call passes the std::array (and often a std::array rvalue source, produced by the to_le_bytes bit_cast lowering) directly, which cannot deduce the span-span core overload.

Fix: boundary adapters in array.hpp viewing array operands through spans (array dst + array/span src, span dst + array src) and dispatching to the existing core. A span over an rvalue source array is consumed within the same full-expression, so it cannot dangle.

Verified: srpc.wire.frame (mako crates/srpc) — previously failing at write_header's rusty::clone_from_slice(out_buf, <bit_cast array>)compiles under clang 22 with this change (no transpiler change needed).

Fixes #39. Rust arrays coerce to slices, so 'raw.copy_from_slice(
&buf[..4])' has a [u8; 4] destination; the emitted call passes the
std::array (and often a std::array rvalue source from the to_le_bytes
bit_cast lowering) directly, which cannot deduce the span-span core
overload. Add boundary adapters viewing array operands through spans
(dst array + src array/span, span dst + array src) and dispatching to
the core. A span over an rvalue source array is consumed within the
same full-expression, so it cannot dangle.

Real-world case: srpc.wire.frame (mako crates/srpc) write_header /
peek_header -- the module compiles under clang 22 with this change.

Full-stack verification: with #41 + #42 + #43 + #45 merged locally (verify-stack), the srpc crate (mako crates/srpc) transpiles --crate --auto-namespace with 0 errors and all six emitted modules compile under clang 22 / C++23 modules: srpc.wire.{varint,archive,frame,serde}, srpc.wire, srpc — 6/6. (Issue #44 was sidestepped srpc-side by moving the varint API to idiomatic slice params.)

Closing — PRs should not have been opened without explicit instruction. The fix remains on this branch for review whenever wanted.
