Auto merge of #58422 - LukasKalbertodt:seek-convenience, r=alexcrichton
Add provided methods `Seek::{stream_len, stream_position}` This adds two new, provided methods to the `io::Seek` trait: - `fn stream_len(&mut self) -> Result<u64>` - `fn stream_position(&mut self) -> Result<u64>` Both are added for convenience and to improve readability in user code. Reading `file.stream_len()` is much better than to manually seek two or three times. Similarly, `file.stream_position()` is much more clear than `file.seek(SeekFrom::Current(0))`. You can find prior discussions [in this internals thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-idea-extend-io-seek-with-convenience-methods-with-e-g-stream-len/9262). I think I addressed all concerns in that thread. I already wrote three RFCs to add a small new API to libstd but I noticed that many public changes to libstd happen without an RFC. So I figured I can try opening a PR directly without going through RFCs first. After all, we do have rfcbot here too. If you think this change is too big to merge without an RFC, I can still close this PR and write an RFC.
