Document the invariant that the vector's length is always less than or
equal to its capacity. This is already implied by these other
invariants:

- `self.len` always represents the exact number of elements stored in
  the vector.
- `self.layout` represents the absolute number of elements that can be
  stored within the vector without re-allocation.

but it doesn't hurt to spell it out. Note that the language references
`self.capacity` rather than `self.layout.len` as the latter is zero for
a vector of ZSTs.
