Specialize flattening iterators with only one inner item For iterators like `Once` and `option::IntoIter` that only ever have a single item at most, the front and back iterator states in `FlatMap` and `Flatten` are a waste, as they're always consumed already. We can use specialization for these types to simplify the iterator methods. It's a somewhat common pattern to use `flatten()` for options and results, even recommended by [multiple][1] [clippy][2] [lints][3]. The implementation is more efficient with `filter_map`, as mentioned in [clippy#9377], but this new specialization should close some of that gap for existing code that flattens.
