Many of the iterator adaptors will perform faster folds if they forward
to their inner iterator's folds, especially for inner types like `Chain`
which are optimized too. The following types are newly specialized:
| Type | `fold` | `rfold` |
| ----------- | ------ | ------- |
| `Enumerate` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Filter` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `FilterMap` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `FlatMap` | exists | ✓ |
| `Fuse` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Inspect` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Peekable` | ✓ | N/A¹ |
| `Skip` | ✓ | N/A² |
| `SkipWhile` | ✓ | N/A¹ |
¹ not a `DoubleEndedIterator`
² `Skip::next_back` doesn't pull skipped items at all, but this couldn't
be avoided if `Skip::rfold` were to call its inner iterator's `rfold`.
Benchmarks
----------
In the following results, plain `_sum` computes the sum of a million
integers -- note that `sum()` is implemented with `fold()`. The
`_ref_sum` variants do the same on a `by_ref()` iterator, which is
limited to calling `next()` one by one, without specialized `fold`.
The `chain` variants perform the same tests on two iterators chained
together, to show a greater benefit of forwarding `fold` internally.

`FlatMap` can use internal iteration for its `fold`, which shows a
performance advantage in the new benchmarks:
test iter::bench_flat_map_chain_ref_sum ... bench: 4,354,111 ns/iter (+/- 108,871)
test iter::bench_flat_map_chain_sum ... bench: 468,167 ns/iter (+/- 2,274)
test iter::bench_flat_map_ref_sum ... bench: 449,616 ns/iter (+/- 6,257)
test iter::bench_flat_map_sum ... bench: 348,010 ns/iter (+/- 1,227)
... where the "ref" benches are using `by_ref()` that isn't optimized.
So this change shows a decent advantage on its own, but much more when
combined with a `chain` iterator that also optimizes `fold`.
