Description
Since RoaringBitmap::from_lsb0_bytes lets you convert lsb bytes into a RoaringBitmap, it would be helpful to have an API to convert a RoaringBitmap back to lsb bytes. My app uses lsb bytes to communicate with other components, but works with RoaringBitmap internally, so I need to go both ways.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing RoaringBitmap::from_lsb0_bytes API and its implementation or tests in the repository. Trace how LSB bytes are interpreted, then define the reverse API so converting to bytes and back preserves the bitmap; add coverage for that round trip.
