nightly-2024-01-24: chore: convert vec references to slices (#4133)

# Description

Converts usages of `&Vec<T>` to `&[T]`

## Problem\*

Resolves https://github.com/noir-lang/noir/issues/679 

## Summary\*

`&Vec` can be dereferenced into `&[T]` whereas `&[T]` is more general.

In all but the following two cases, the type can simply be changed:

1. Both `clone` and `to_vec` perform a copy:
```rust
        VMStatus::Finished => Some((vm.get_registers().clone(), vm.get_memory().clone())),
        VMStatus::Finished => Some((vm.get_registers().clone(), vm.get_memory().to_vec())),
```

2. Both perform a match on the `Option`:
```rust
        self.name == name && (self.params.is_none() || self.params.as_ref() == Some(params))
        self.name == name && (self.params.is_none() || self.params.as_deref() == Some(params))
```
