* Fix typo
* [RefC] Add missed prims of setBuffer* .
* [ fix ] formatting
* [ re #2609 ] Use 'UInt' instead of 'Word'
More descriptive/to the point / Less assumed knowledge.
There are no *LE suffixes for UInt8, since endianness is to do with
multiple bytes and UInt8 is a single one.

* [ base ] Deprecate setByte in favour of setBits8
Deprecate getByte; fix Core.Binary.Prims
Along with `setByte`, the `getByte` function should similarly be
deprecated since it also assumes the value will have the given size,
rather than guaranteeing it in the type.
CI highlighted some required changes in `Core.Binary.Prims` thanks to
`-Werror`. The fix was to add some `cast` calls where the old `getByte`
and `setByte` used to be.
The RefC buffer test will need updating once we remove the functions
completely. Added a note for future peeps.
To be able to use `C` functions for both Scheme and RefC: it was
not possible for `Buffer` before this PR.
As an example, `writeBufferData` and `readBufferData` functions are
removed: generic C backend implementations are used instead.
We should really get these automatically, but until we do, add the
flags. Chez seems to spot these anyway, but again it makes the generated
code easier to look at, and it removes some needless abstraction over
interfaces at runtime.
Meaning that the FFI is aware of it, so you can send arbitrary byte data
to foreign calls. Fixes#209
This means that we no longer need the hacky way of reading and writing
binary data via scheme, so can have a more general interface for reading
and writing buffer data in files.
It will also enable more interesting high level interfaces to binary
data, with C calls being used where necessary.
Note that the Buffer primitive are unsafe! They always have been, of
course... so perhaps (later) they should have 'unsafe' as part of their
name and better high level safe interfaces on top.
This requires updating the scheme to support Buffer as an FFI primitive,
but shouldn't affect Idris2-boot which loads buffers its own way.
Including appropriate casts, and Num/Eq/Ord/Show implementations.
Also includes new primitives in Data.Buffer, and calls to foreign
functions in C as 'unsigned'.
Racket appears to have a different notion of current directory than the
system does, so we need to tell it which directory we think we're in
when reading and writing bytevectors using the scheme file functions.
