Add additional array -> array view conversions

It is best to be "complete" with implementations when possible, since
it can always be a breaking change to add it later.

As shown in the test change in this commit, this is a minor type
inference breakage due to `ArrayView::from(&[])` being ambiguous.

Empty array views should be relatively rare - and one can use
`ArrayView1` or other means to disambiguate.
