rollup merge of #20790: japaric/for-loops
As per [RFC #235][rfc], you can now do:

[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0235-collections-conventions.md#intoiterator-and-iterable

``` rust
let mut v = vec![1];

// iterate over immutable references
for x in &v {
    assert_eq!(x, &1);
}

// iterate over mutable references
for x in &mut v {
    assert_eq!(x, &mut 1);
}

// iterate over values, this consumes `v`
for x in v {
    assert_eq!(x, 1);
}
```

[breaking-change]s

For loops now "consume" (move) the iterator, this breaks iterating over mutable references to iterators, and also breaks multiple iterations over the same iterator:

``` rust
fn foo(mut it: &mut Iter) {  // `Iter` implements `Iterator`
    for x in it { .. }  //~ error: `&mut Iter` doesn't implement Iterator
}

fn bar() {
    for x in it { .. }  //~ note: `it` moved here
    for x in it { .. }  //~ error: `it` has been moved
}
```

Both cases can be fixed using the `by_ref()` adapter to create an iterator from the mutable reference:

``` rust
fn foo(mut it: &mut Iter) {
    for x in it.by_ref() { .. }
}

fn bar() {
    for x in it.by_ref() { .. }
    for x in it { .. }
}
```

This PR also makes iterator non-implicitly copyable, as this was source of subtle bugs in the libraries. You can still use `clone()` to explictly copy the iterator.

Finally, since the for loops are implemented in the frontend and use global paths to `IntoIterator`, `Iterator` and `Option` variants, users of the `core` crate will have to use add an `std` module to the root of their crate to be able to use for loops:

``` rust
#![no_std]

extern crate core;

fn main() {
    for x in 0..10 {}
}

#[doc(hidden)]
mod std {
    // these imports are needed to use for-loops
    pub use core::iter;
    pub use core::option;
}
```
