Iterators.partition does not work on substrings

[chrstphrbrns]

julia> lstrip("01111", '0')
"1111"

julia> collect(Iterators.partition("1111", 2))
2-element Vector{SubString{String}}:
 "11"
 "11"

#51773 should fix this. The issue is that eltype here lied about what element that iterating it actually produce:

julia> itr = Iterators.partition(lstrip("01111", '0'), 2)
Base.Iterators.PartitionIterator{SubString{String}}("1111", 2)

julia> eltype(itr)
SubString{SubString{String}}

julia> foreach(x -> @show(typeof(x)), itr)
typeof(x) = SubString{String}
typeof(x) = SubString{String}
