Description
An interesting optimization for no_std platforms would be to support in-place decoders/encoders.
The entire crate is already written to operate over byte slices as inputs/outputs, which should make much of the existing implementation reusable in this context..

Research direction
Start by reading the existing pem-rfc7468 decoder and encoder implementation, focusing on how its byte-slice inputs and outputs are handled. Determine the API and borrowing requirements for in-place operation on no_std platforms. Done means the crate supports in-place decoding and encoding while reusing the existing byte-slice-based implementation.
