Add `Iterator::map_while`
In `Iterator` trait there is `*_map` version of [`filter`] — [`filter_map`], however, there is no `*_map` version of [`take_while`], that can also be useful.
### Use cases
In my code, I've found that I need to iterate through iterator of `Option`s, stopping on the first `None`. So I've written code like this:
```rust
let arr = [Some(4), Some(10), None, Some(3)];
let mut iter = arr.iter()
.take_while(|x| x.is_some())
.map(|x| x.unwrap());
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(4));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(10));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
```
Thit code
1) isn't clean
2) In theory, can generate bad bytecode (I'm actually **not** sure, but I think that `unwrap` would generate additional branches with `panic!`)
The same code, but with `map_while` (in the original PR message it was named "take_while_map"):
```rust
let arr = [Some(4), Some(10), None, Some(3)];
let mut iter = arr.iter().map_while(std::convert::identity);
```
Also, `map_while` can be useful when converting something (as in [examples]).
