Use fold to implement Iterator::for_each

The benefit of using internal iteration is shown in new benchmarks:

    test iter::bench_for_each_chain_fold     ... bench:     635,110 ns/iter (+/- 5,135)
    test iter::bench_for_each_chain_loop     ... bench:   2,249,983 ns/iter (+/- 42,001)
    test iter::bench_for_each_chain_ref_fold ... bench:   2,248,061 ns/iter (+/- 51,940)
