These APIs are from the Swift 1.2 => Swift 2.0 transition, and are not
relevant anymore.
Removing them reduces the surface area of the library that needs to be
reviewed.
- Remove free Swift functions for advance and distance and replace
them with protocol extension methods:
- advancedBy(n)
- advancedBy(n, limit:)
- distanceTo(end)
- Modernize the Index tests
- Use StdlibUnittest
- Test for custom implementation dispatch
Perf impact: No significant changes reported in the
Swift Performance Measurement Tool.

...replacing it with the new, after passing API review!
* The lazy free function has become a property.
* Before we could extend protocols, we lacked a means for value types to
share implementations, and each new lazy algorithm had to be added to
each of up to four types: LazySequence, LazyForwardCollection,
LazyBidirectionalCollection, and LazyRandomAccessCollection. These
generic adapters hid the usual algorithms by defining their own
versions that returned new lazy generic adapters. Now users can extend
just one of two protocols to do the same thing: LazySequenceType or
LazyCollectionType.
* To avoid making the code duplication worse than it already was, the
generic adapters mentioned above were used to add the lazy generic
algorithms around simpler adapters such as MapSequence that just
provided the basic requirements of SequenceType by applying a
transformation to some base sequence, resulting in deeply nested
generic types as shown here. Now, MapSequence is an instance of
LazySequenceType (and is renamed LazyMapSequence), and thus transmits
laziness to its algorithms automatically.
* Documentation comments have been rewritten.
* The .array property was retired
* various renamings
* A bunch of Gyb files were retired.
