Add Iterator::find_map

I'd like to propose to add `find_map` method to the `Iterator`: an occasionally useful utility, which relates to `filter_map` in the same way that `find` relates to `filter`.

`find_map` takes an `Option`-returning function, applies it to the elements of the iterator, and returns the first non-`None` result. In other words, `find_map(f) == filter_map(f).next()`.

Why do we want to add a function to the `Iterator`, which can be trivially expressed as a combination of existing ones? Observe that `find(f) == filter(f).next()`, so, by the same logic, `find` itself is unnecessary!

The more positive argument is that desugaring of  `find[_map]` in terms of `filter[_map]().next()` is not super obvious, because the `filter` operation reads as if it is applies to the whole collection, although in reality we are interested only in the first element. That is, the jump from "I need a **single** result" to "let's use a function which maps **many** values to **many** values" is a non-trivial speed-bump, and causes friction when reading and writing code.

Does the need for `find_map` arise in practice? Yes!

* Anecdotally, I've more than once searched the docs for the function with `[T] -> (T -> Option<U>) -> Option<U>` signature.
* The direct cause for this PR was [this](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/5187/files/1291c50e86ed4b31db0c76de03a47a5d0074bbd7#r174934173) discussion in Cargo, which boils down to "there's some pattern that we try to express here, but current approaches looks non-pretty" (and the pattern is `filter_map`
* There are several `filter_map().next` combos in Cargo: [[1]](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/545a4a2c930916cc9c3dc1716fb7a33299e4062b/src/cargo/ops/cargo_new.rs#L585), [[2]](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/545a4a2c930916cc9c3dc1716fb7a33299e4062b/src/cargo/core/resolver/mod.rs#L1130), [[3]](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/545a4a2c930916cc9c3dc1716fb7a33299e4062b/src/cargo/ops/cargo_rustc/mod.rs#L1086).
* I've also needed similar functionality in `Kotlin` several times. There, it is expressed as `mapNotNull {}.firstOrNull`, as can be seen [here](https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/blob/ee8bdb4e073fd07142fc6e1853ca288c57495e69/src/main/kotlin/org/rust/cargo/project/model/impl/CargoProjectImpl.kt#L154), [here](https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/blob/ee8bdb4e073fd07142fc6e1853ca288c57495e69/src/main/kotlin/org/rust/lang/core/resolve/ImplLookup.kt#L444) [here](https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/blob/ee8bdb4e073fd07142fc6e1853ca288c57495e69/src/main/kotlin/org/rust/ide/inspections/RsLint.kt#L38) and [here](https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/blob/ee8bdb4e073fd07142fc6e1853ca288c57495e69/src/main/kotlin/org/rust/cargo/toolchain/RustToolchain.kt#L74) (and maybe in some other cases as well)

Note that it is definitely not among the most popular functions (it definitely is less popular than `find`), but, for example it (in case of Cargo) seems to be more popular than `rposition` (1 occurrence), `step_by` (zero occurrences) and `nth` (three occurrences as `nth(0)` which probably should be replaced with `next`).

Do we necessary need this function in `std`? Could we move it to itertools? That is possible, but observe that `filter`, `filter_map`, `find` and `find_map` together really form a complete table:

|||
|-------|---------|
| filter| find|
|filter_map|find_map|

It would be somewhat unsatisfying to have one quarter of this table live elsewhere :) Also, if `Itertools` adds an `find_map` method, it would be more difficult to move it to std due to name collision.

Hm, at this point I've searched for `filter_map` the umpteenth time, and, strangely, this time I do find this RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1801. I guess this could be an implementation though? :)

To sum up:

Pro:
  - complete the symmetry with existing method
  - codify a somewhat common non-obvious pattern

Contra:
  - niche use case
  - we can, and do, live without it
