auto merge of #14568 : erickt/rust/slice-update, r=alexcrichton

This PR adds two features to make it possible to transform an `Iterator<u8>` into a `Reader`. The first patch adds a method to mutable slices that allows it to be updated with an `Iterator<T>` without paying for the bounds cost. The second adds a Iterator adaptor, `IterReader`, to provide that `Reader` interface.

I had two questions. First, are these named the right things? Second, should `IterReader` instead wrap an `Iterator<Result<u8, E>>`? This would allow you to `IterReader::new(rdr.bytes())`, which could be useful if you want to apply some iterator transformations on a reader while still exporting the Reader interface, but I'd expect there'd be a lot of overhead annotating each byte with an error result.
