Rethink API

[frewsxcv]

Would be nice to make this library simpler to use. I've been thinking an API like this:

use afl;

fn main() {
    // Some setup can happen here

    // Loop that AFL will run
    afl::run(|inputted_string| {
        let _ = some_library::parse_string(inputted_string);
    });
}

inputted_string would be a String. the closure inside afl::run is the only thing that gets run upon every subsequent call by AFL using the deferred init strategy

Another idea here. Something like cargo bench:

#[fuzz]
fn test_fuzz(bytes: Vec<u8>) {
    ...
}

which can be invoked with something like cargo afl-fuzz

Nice! even simpler, I love it.

Note to future self:

rust-quickcheck implements a #[quickcheck] compiler plugin very similar to what I was thinking above.
