std::iterator: Introduce trait ExactSizeHint

The trait `ExactSizeHint` is introduced to solve a few small niggles:

* We can't reverse (`.invert()`) an enumeration iterator
* for a vector, we have `v.iter().position(f)` but `v.rposition(f)`.
* We can't reverse `Zip` even if both iterators are from vectors

`ExactSizeHint` is an empty trait that is intended to indicate that an
iterator, for example `VecIterator`, knows its exact finite size and
reports it correctly using `.size_hint()`. Only adaptors that preserve
this at all times, can expose this trait further. (Where here we say
finite for fitting in uint).
