Recommends lazily evaluated alternatives for `Option::or` and `Result::or`

Adds language to docs for `Option` and `Result` recommending the use of lazily evaluated alternatives when appropriate. These comments are intended to echo a [clippy lint] on the same topic. The [reddit discussion] may also be of interest.
