Rebased on #653.

This PR consists of two parts:

  • Expose the fact that templates implement Display

    This is a quite useful feature, because you can use templates in format!(), format_args!(), etc.

  • Add io::writer helper methods

    It might not be immediately obvious to everyone how easy it is to use Askama template with std::io (e.g. files) instead of std::fmt, so this PR adds a few helper methods to make this more obvious to novice users.

(Nb. the "novice user" is me in this case :) )

/// Renders the template to the given `writer` buffer
/// Helper method which allocates a new `Vec<u8>` and renders into it
#[inline]
fn render_bytes(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>> {

This doesn't meet my cost/benefit bar, conversions with String::into_bytes() should be easy.

This one seems reasonable, though the name seems a little unwieldy. Maybe write_into()? That's technically somewhat ambitious between impl std::fmt::Write and impl std::io::Write but that doesn't seem like a big deal.
