Jay Conrod b975d0baa0 [dev.fuzz] internal/fuzz: reduce allocation in the mutator
When mutating a byte slice, mutate in place, and only allocate once if
the slice's capacity is less than the maximum size.

mutateBytes already should not allocate; we check a post-condition
that the slice's data pointer does not change.

This speeds up the mutator from 4 ms per value to 200-600 ns. For
example:

    goos: darwin
    goarch: amd64
    pkg: internal/fuzz
    cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8559U CPU @ 2.70GHz
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/1-8                5908735               275.3 ns/op
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/10-8               5198473               282.0 ns/op
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/100-8              4304750               233.9 ns/op
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/1000-8             4623988               295.2 ns/op
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/10000-8            4252104               458.5 ns/op
    BenchmarkMutatorBytes/100000-8           1236751               950.8 ns/op
    PASS
    ok      internal/fuzz   12.993s
