Zig itertools

This is an attempt to port the itertools library from python to zig, in order to introduce a functional paradigm to the language. Maintains efficiency by reducing temporary allocations, and moving through slices using an iterator. The library also includes some constructs such as map, filter and reduce which are part of the python builtin library which are essential for functional programming.

And of course, their compile time counterparts!

Suggestions and contributions are welcome.

NOTE: De-initializing the iterator is the responsibility of the user.
