Merge #231

231: Remove `Allowed::replace` and `Allowed::take`. r=jrvanwhy a=jrvanwhy

When I originally implemented `Allowed`, I made it work with non-`Copy` types. `Allowed::get` cannot with with non-`Copy` types, so I added `Allowed::replace` to allow client code to read a non-`Copy` type out of an `Allowed` buffer. However, during the PR review we changed `Allowed` to only contain `Copy` types. Because of this change, I don't anticipate `Allowed::replace` (and `Allowed::take` which is built on top of `Allowed::replace`) seeing much use. This PR removes `Allowed::replace` and `Allowed::take` to reduce the amount of `unsafe` in `libtock_platform`.
