der: derive(Sequence) with [u8; N] field #1730

@dishmaker

Description

@dishmaker

[u8; N] arrays should be allowed as OCTET STRING fields.

#[derive(Sequence)]
pub struct MySequence {
    #[asn1(context_specific = "2", type = "OCTET STRING")]
    pub authority_reference: [u8; 8],
}
error[E0277]: the trait bound `der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>: TryFrom<[u8; 8]>` is not satisfied
  --> example.rs:68:10
   |
68 | #[derive(Sequence)]
   |          ^^^^^^^^ the trait `From<[u8; 8]>` is not implemented for `der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>`
   |
   = help: the following other types implement trait `From<T>`:
             `der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>` implements `From<&der::asn1::OctetString>`
             `der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>` implements `From<&der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>>`
   = note: required for `[u8; 8]` to implement `Into<der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>>`
   = note: required for `der::asn1::OctetStringRef<'_>` to implement `TryFrom<[u8; 8]>`
   = note: this error originates in the derive macro `Sequence`

does not work with deref ="true" too.

the trait `From<&[u8; 8]>` is not implemented for `OctetStringRef<'_>`
[Spoiler] real use case
/// EU Tachograph certificate body
