c_vec: Modernize

Generally use more modern constructs (such as using `CVec::new()` as
constructor and move to more method usage).

Potentially controversial changes:
* change `get()` to return a reference instead of cloning
* remove `set()`, add `get_mut()` instead
* add an `unwrap()` method that destroys the CVec without running any
  associated destructor
