Support from/into array up to 64

Currently only support up to 32
The standard library currently only supports most traits on arrays up to length 32, so having From/Into implementations beyond that feels odd.
@fizyk20 Do you have an opinions on this? It would be super easy to do.
Maybe also implement it for powers of 2 and 10.
We can't implement it for every number, so we have to stop somewhere, and the sizes supported by std seem to be a natural point.
But of course nothing stands in the way of being a bit better than std ;) I don't have an opinion here, really - slightly leaning towards doing it, though, since it's obviously useful to someone.
I find it kind of funny that std just re-implemented a lot of array things using const generics. In fact, they had to artificially restrict it to 32 for temporary compatibility. We're being phased out by the day... 😄
Anyway, simple transmutes are so small that adding more probably won't bloat up compile times much. Might as well.
