operator<< was a friend class that locked the ByteVector, then invoked
hexdump on the bytevector, which used ByteVector::operator[]...which
locked the ByteVector, resulting in a deadlock.
operator<< shouldn't be a friend class anyway. Make hexdump use the
normal public access methods for ByteVector.

We are using ByteVectors from multiple threads in some cases. Mostly
these are the status and progress threads which read the ByteVector
object references embedded in BEESNOTE macros.
Since it's not clear what the data race implications are, protect
the shared_ptr in ByteVector with a mutex for now.

After some benchmarking, it turns out that std::vector<uint8_t> is
about 160 times slower than malloc(). malloc() is faster than "new
uint8_t[]" too. Get rid of std:;vector<uint8_t> and replace it with
a lightweight wrapper around malloc(), free(), and memcpy().
ByteVector has helpful methods for the common case of moving data to and
from ioctl calls that use a fixed-length header placed contiguously with a
variable-length input/output buffer. Data bytes are shared between copied
ByteVector objects, allowing a large single buffer to be cheaply chopped
up into smaller objects without memory copies. ByteVector implements the
more useful parts of the std::vector API, so it can replace std::vector
objects without needing an awkward adaptor class like Spanner.
