use Iterator#size in RDD#count in RDD#count, we used while loop to get the size of Iterator because that Iterator#size used a for loop, which was slightly slower in that version of Scala. But for now, the current version of scala will translate the for loop in Iterator#size into `foreach`, which uses while loop to iterate the Iterator. So we can use Iterator#size directly now.
