## Description
This implements an Iterator trait in std-lib, and adds iter() to Vec.
This also adds parsing and desugaring of for loops.
```
for pattern in iterator {
code_block
}
```
is desugared into:
```
let mut iterable = iterator;
while true {
let value_opt = iterable.next();
if value_opt.is_none() {
break;
}
let value = value_opt.unwrap();
code_block
}
```
This also adds for loops documentation to the control flow docs.
We still have to fix this issues:
- #5567
- #5568
- #5570
- #5571
Closes #145

We have while loops but not for loops. This is blocked by a standard library implementation of iterators (#144), which can be easily generated via range syntax like in Rust. (
