Add `itertools` to bazel-skylib or publish it to BCR?

[jjmaestro]

This is quite a useful library, thanks for writing and sharing it!!

I just randomly stumbled upon this library when I read @AlexDenisov's Building LLVM plugins with Bazel blog post, after I actually ended up implementing a quick-n-dirty product in Starlark because I needed it for a a Bazel project with a a high-cardinality matrix of options and I couldn't find anything when I tried searching for this exact functionality in BCR (e.g. searched itertools in BCR and found nothing). I would have loved if I had found it earlier!

I was wondering, why not contribute this to bazel-skylib or publish it as a separate module in the Bazel's Central Repository?

Would you be open to making a PR to bazel-skylib? If you don't want to do it, I would be happy to make one and give you all the credit. And if they don't accept it, then I would make a PR to publish the library to BCR.

What do you think?

That sounds like a good idea, I'll make a PR.
