Bug #20753: [doc] IO::Buffer examples try to write into readonly buffer returned from IO::Buffer.for

----------------------------------------
`IO::Buffer.for` without a block returns a readonly `IO::Buffer`. Some examples in the documentation for `IO::Buffer` write into the readonly buffers, which actually raise an `IO::Buffer::AccessError`.

>>From `IO::Buffer#clear`:
> ```
> buffer = IO::Buffer.for('test')
> # =>
> #   <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE>
> #   0x00000000  74 65 73 74         test
>
> buffer.clear
> # =>
> #   <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE>
> #   0x00000000  00 00 00 00         ....
> ```

>>From `IO::Buffer#copy`:
> ```
> string= "data:    "
> # => "data:    "
> buffer = IO::Buffer.for(string)
> buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 5)
> # => 4
> ```

And `IO::Buffer#slice`, which should be fixed along with its implementation #20752
