updates based on feedback

Make minor wording changes in a few places. Move `filter` to the
"transformations" section. Add `zip` methods to the "transformations"
section. Clarify the section about `Option` iterators, and add a section
about collecting into `Option`.

Clarify that for `Result`, `or` and `or_else` can also produce a
`Result` having a different type.
