std::iter: document iteration over `&T` and `&mut T`

A colleague of mine is new to Rust, and mentioned that it was “slightly
confusing” to figure out what `&mut` does in iterating over `&mut foo`:

```rust
for value in &mut self.my_vec {
    // ...
}
```

My colleague had read the `std::iter` docs and not found the answer
there. There is a brief section at the top about “the three forms of
iteration”, which mentions `iter_mut`, but it doesn’t cover the purpose
of `&mut coll` for a collection `coll`. This patch adds an explanatory
section to the docs. I opted to create a new section so that it can
appear after the note that `impl<I: Iterator> IntoIterator for I`, and
it’s nice for the existing “three forms of iteration” to appear near the
top.

Test Plan:
Ran `./x.py doc library/core`, and the result looked good, including
links. Manually copy-pasted the two doctests into the playground and ran
them.

+//! # Iterating by reference
+//!
+//! Since [`into_iter()`] takes `self` by value, using a `for` loop to iterate
+//! over a collection consumes that collection. Often, you may want to iterate
+//! over a collection without consuming it. Many collections offer methods that
+//! provide iterators over references, conventionally called `iter()` and
+//! `iter_mut()` respectively:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! let mut values = vec![41];
+//! for x in values.iter_mut() {
+//!     *x += 1;
+//! }
+//! for x in values.iter() {
+//!     assert_eq!(*x, 42);
+//! }
+//! assert_eq!(values.len(), 1); // `values` is still owned by this function.
+//! ```
+//!
+//! If a collection type `C` provides `iter()`, it usually also implements
+//! `IntoIterator` for `&C`, with an implementation that just calls `iter()`.
+//! Likewise, a collection `C` that provides `iter_mut()` generally implements
+//! `IntoIterator` for `&mut C` by delegating to `iter_mut()`. This enables a
+//! convenient shorthand:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! let mut values = vec![41];
+//! for x in &mut values { // same as `values.iter_mut()`
+//!     *x += 1;
+//! }
+//! for x in &values { // same as `values.iter()`
+//!     assert_eq!(*x, 42);
+//! }
+//! assert_eq!(values.len(), 1);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! While many collections offer `iter()`, not all offer `iter_mut()`. For
+//! example, mutating the keys of a [`HashSet<T>`] or [`HashMap<K, V>`] could
+//! put the collection into an inconsistent state if the key hashes change, so
+//! these collections only offer `iter()`.
