Description
The java impl contains a ReadOnlyRoaringBitmap that can be backed by a byte buffer. Is there any interest in including a Roaring bitmap that's backed by a borrowed byte slice whose contents are the serialized format? This could be useful for zero-copy deserialization or memory mapped use cases.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Rust bitmap implementation and its serialized format, then compare the requested design with Java's ReadOnlyRoaringBitmap. Define what borrowed byte-slice ownership and zero-copy or memory-mapped behavior would require, and confirm the expected API and tests before implementation.
