Function std.range.primitives.walkLength

If hasLength!Range, simply returns range.length without checking upTo (when specified).

Otherwise, walks the range through its length and returns the number of elements seen. Performes Ο(n) evaluations of range.empty and range.popFront(), where n is the effective length of range.

The upTo parameter is useful to "cut the losses" in case the interest is in seeing whether the range has at least some number of elements. If the parameter upTo is specified, stops if upTo steps have been taken and returns upTo.

Infinite ranges are compatible, provided the parameter upTo is specified, in which case the implementation simply returns upTo.
