Add an unsafe method view_mut_raw (#1850)

* adding .vscode folder to .gitignore

* Adding view_mut_raw to generated arrays

* test populating rust vector from JS  function

* Uint32Array test, need to make it generic

* Add doc + more test cases

* replacing macro-generated tests with generic test function

it is cleaner, safer and better that way

* improving rustdoc

.gitignore
