needless_collect: avoid warning if non-iterator methods are used

It can make sense to `collect()` an iterator and then immediately
iterate over it if the iterator has special methods that you need.
For example, the Map iterator doesn't implement Clone, but the
collection iterator might. Or the collection iterator might
support slicing.
