Safe transmuting for Complex<T> with bytemuck

[bradleyharden]

I think this request is unlikely to be accepted, but I thought I would at least ask.

I recently ran into an issue using Complex<T> with types from the fixed crate and bytemuck. fixed implements Pod, for all of its types, so they are safely transmutable to [u8] slices. Unfortunately, once I use Complex, I can no longer use bytemuck, even though Complex would satisfy the unsafe requirements of Pod.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add bytemuck as an optional dependency, with an implementation of Pod for Complex<T> where T: Pod. bytemuck seems to be stable and the de facto standard crate for safe transmuting.

I think this would also address the request in rust-num/num#408.

I'm fine with this, preferably as manual impls rather than derives to keep the dependencies down. It will need both Pod and Zeroable, but they should be easy enough.

Ok great. I can make a PR
