Daily bit(e) of C++ | std::advance, std::distance

Daily bit(e) of C++ #256, Generic functions for advancing iterators and measuring distance between iterators: std::advance, std::distance.

When implementing generic code that should operate on top of ranges, the std::advance and std::distance utilities can help.

Both utilities provide constant complexity for random access ranges and fallback to linear operations.
