Add from_maybe_shared constructors

These constructors don't expose the internal `Bytes` type, but instead
will try to downcast the argument to prevent a copy. If the types don't
match up (a user provides an older version of `Bytes`), the value will
just be copied.

Adds:

- `HeaderValue::from_maybe_shared`
- `HeaderValue::from_maybe_shared_unchecked`
- `Uri::from_maybe_shared`
- `Authority::from_maybe_shared`
- `PathAndQuery::from_maybe_shared`
