Add a new NPY_ITER_COPY_IF_OVERLAP iterator flag to NpyIter, which
instructs it to check if read operands overlap with write operands in
memory, and make temporary copies to eliminate detected overlap.
Thanks to @seberg (whose code it mostly is).
The idea here is to approach gh-6272 in small steps --- I've been looking at what changes are needed to deal with it everywhere, and I think it will go better if done in small side-effect free pieces. (The rest here).
