may not -> might not

may not -> might not

"may not" has two possible meanings:
1. A command: "You may not stay up past your bedtime."
2. A fact that's only sometimes true: "Some cities may not have bike lanes."

In some cases, the meaning is ambiguous: "Some cars may not have snow
tires." (do the cars *happen* to not have snow tires, or is it
physically impossible for them to have snow tires?)

This changes places where the standard library uses the "description of
fact" meaning to say "might not" instead.

This is just `std::vec` for now - if you think this is a good idea I can
convert the rest of the standard library.
