Subject: [PATCH] Challenge 22: Verify safety of str iter functions

Add Kani proof harnesses for all 16 str iterator functions specified
in Challenge #22: Chars (next, advance_by, next_back, as_str),
SplitInternal (get_end, next, next_inclusive, next_match_back,
next_back_inclusive, remainder), MatchIndicesInternal (next, next_back),
MatchesInternal (next, next_back), SplitAsciiWhitespace (remainder),
and __iterator_get_unchecked (Bytes). Resolves #279
