tokio::fs::write clones the data

[oriongonza]

I get that it's supposed to be a 1 <-> 1 with std::fs::write but it copies whatever you give it and it doesn't even tell you about it until you look at the source code.

A better interface might be something like AsRef<[u8]> + Send + 'static so that you can pass owned data like Vec<u8>, Arc<[u8]>, bytes::Bytes...

However this is a breaking change as &[u8] could no longer be sent.

So either a new API for this or comment clearly that this will clone the data.

I've looked into this before, and it cannot be fixed, unfortunately.

Happy to see additional docs about this.

What about adding another function and deprecating this?

I may have found a solution in #7199
