[New-bugs-announce] [issue26015] Add new tests for pickling iterators of mutable sequences

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Proposed patch updates tests for iterators of mutable sequences. Now tested iterators in all four states (initial, running, empty and exhausted), and tested that unpickled iterator is linked with a sequence, not with an independed copy (as in case of dict iterators).

Note that there is a difference in the behavior of exhausted array iterator from other iterators. Perhaps this should be changed.
