TINKERPOP-1834: Consider iterate() as a first class step
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1834
This is a re-issuing of a previously closed commit. In this model, a
`NoneStep` was added as well as a `Traversal.none()`. `Traversal.iterate()`
calls `Traversal.none()` if the traversal has not been fully compiled. The
benefit of this is that `iterate()` will add a full filter and thus, for remote
systems (non-embedded), all data is "iterated" server-side before being sent
back to the client. This is a novel play in that `iterate()`, while being a
terminal step, is now effecting the bytecode representation.

Added NoneStep which simply filter(false). Traversal.none() was added which
appends the NoneStep. Traversal.iterate() was updated such that if the
traversal has not been compiled yet, then Traversal.none() is called to ensure
that a full filter is propagated in the bytecode.
