Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is impossible to write an implementation of hyper::rt::Read because ReadBufCursor cannot be written to safely.
Describe the solution you'd like
Have a method that initializes the read buffer by zeroing it and then returning an &mut [u8] that can be filled safely. E.g. this.

Research direction
Start by locating ReadBufCursor and the hyper::rt::Read implementation in the repository, then compare their behavior with Tokio's ReadBuf::initialize_unfilled documentation. The change is complete when the read buffer is safely initialized and the method returns a mutable byte slice that implementations can fill, with relevant tests covering the behavior.
