Implement From<RecvError> for TryRecvError and RecvTimeoutError

According to the documentation, it looks to me that `TryRecvError` and `RecvTimeoutError` are strict extensions of `RecvError`. As such, it makes sense to allow conversion from the latter type to the two former types without constraining future developments.

This permits to write `input.recv()?` and `input.recv_timeout(timeout)?` in the same function for example.
