Description

See https://github.com/xi-editor/druid/pull/165#discussion_r326274665 for context. This should allow us to write more idiomatic Rust code by avoiding mutability where it isn't necessary.

@raphlinus Hope that summarizes the intention. If there's anything I missed, please feel free to add. 😅

Research direction
Examine the referenced PR discussion (https://github.com/xi editor/druid/pull/165) for context on the desired replacement. Locate the `ToWide` and `FromWide` utility functions in the druid source code and understand their current usage. Then explore the `wio` crate (likely https://crates.io/crates/wio) to find equivalent functions that avoid mutability. Implement the replacement across the codebase, ensuring idiomatic Rust code.
