Subject: [PATCH v4] Add methods for FromBytes trait.

Methods receive a slice and perform size check to add
a valid way to make conversion safe.
In the invalid case return the EINVAL error.

The conversion between slices ([T])
is separated from others, because I couldn't implement it
in the same way as the other conversions.
