The From implementation for &[u8] can cause type inference problems. We could change back to only having an Into implementation, but in practice EndianSlice is never used in a generic context that requires this trait, and the &[u8] is easily obtained by either the slice method or Deref.

Remove the Index implementation while we're at it, since this is also not useful in practice.

See rust-lang/rust#113238
