auto merge of #11497 : huonw/rust/trie-internal-iter, r=alexcrichton

This stores the stack of iterators inline (we have a maximum depth with
`uint` keys), and then uses direct pointer offsetting to manipulate it,
in a blazing fast way:

Before:

    bench_iter_large          ... bench:     43187 ns/iter (+/- 3082)
    bench_iter_small          ... bench:       618 ns/iter (+/- 288)

After:

    bench_iter_large          ... bench:     13497 ns/iter (+/- 1575)
    bench_iter_small          ... bench:       220 ns/iter (+/- 91)

Also, removes `.each_{key,value}_reverse` as an offering to
placate the gods of external iterators for my heinous sin of 
attempting to add new internal ones (in a previous version of this
PR).
