std::iter: Introduce .by_ref() adaptor

Creates a wrapper around a mutable reference to the iterator.

This is useful to allow applying iterator adaptors while still
retaining ownership of the original iterator value.

Example::

   let mut xs = range(0, 10);
   // sum the first five values
   let partial_sum = xs.by_ref().take(5).fold(0, |a, b| a + b);
   assert!(partial_sum == 10);
   // xs.next() is now `5`
   assert!(xs.next() == Some(5));
