Introduce {Ref, RefMut}::try_map for optional projections in RefCell

This fills a usability gap of `RefCell` I've personally encountered to perform optional projections, mostly into collections such as `RefCell<Vec<T>>` or `RefCell<HashMap<U, T>>`:

> This kind of API was briefly featured under Open questions in rust-lang#10514 back in 2013 (!)

```rust
let values = RefCell::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);
let b = Ref::opt_map(values.borrow(), |vec| vec.get(2));
```

It primarily avoids this alternative approach to accomplish the same kind of projection which is both rather noisy and panicky:
```rust
let values = RefCell::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);

let b = if values.get(2).is_some() {
    Some(Ref::map(values.borrow(), |vec| vec.get(2).unwrap()))
} else {
    None
};
```

### Open questions

The naming `opt_map` is preliminary. I'm not aware of prior art in std to lean on here, but this name should probably be improved if this functionality is desirable.

Since `opt_map` consumes the guard, and alternative syntax might be more appropriate which instead *tries* to perform the projection, allowing the original borrow to be recovered in case it fails:

```rust
pub fn try_map<U: ?Sized, F>(orig: Ref<'b, T>, f: F) -> Result<Ref<'b, U>, Self>
where
    F: FnOnce(&T) -> Option<&U>;
```

This would be more in line with the `try_map` method [provided by parking lot](https://docs.rs/lock_api/0/lock_api/struct.RwLockWriteGuard.html#method.try_map).
