... so that memchr builds. Sigh.
* Shut up non_fmt_panic warning Like a few other macros, `panic!` accepts a format string and arguments. The format string is meant to be static and calling it with a message string will generate a warning. Currently, the warning also indicates that `rustc` will generate an error instead in the near future. * Eliminate redundant format! in panic! The `panic!` matro itself does take a foramt string. In fact, the redundant format generated a warning.

Currently https://docs.rs/quickcheck doesn't say much about what this crate does. I think having most info in the README is OK, but probably there should be some info in the crate docs root as well.

We try to shrink values recursively, i.e. when a shrunk value witnesses a failure, we'd shrink that value further. Previously, this recursion would be implemented via actual control flow recursion, i.e. a function calling itself. Since the recursion could not be unrolled by the compiler, this could result in stack overflows in some situations. Albeit such an overflow would often hint at a faulty shrinker (e.g. a shrinker yielding the original value), the stack overflow could also occur in other situations. This change switches from a recursive control flow to explicitly swapping out the shrinking iterator during the iteration.
In the past, shrinking was implemented using recursion in the control
flow. `shrink_failure` would call itself. That function was introduced
originally in
5b19e7c
presumably in order to implement recursive shrinking. However, we
recently choose an approach which would not rely on recursive control
flow but on swapping out an iterator. Thus, the reason why
`shrink_failure` existed in the first place doesn't exist any more.
This change moves the logic in its original place, but also replaces the
`match` which enclosed the call to `shrink_failure` with an `if`.
