[swift-evolution] rename dropFirst() and dropLast()

[Max Moiseev]

Charles,
 
Guidelines are being applied to the Standard Library as part of Swift 3 effort. You can track progress in `swift-3-api-guidelines` branch.
Addressing your example: non-mutating `sort()` has become `sorted()` here <https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/swift-3-api-guidelines/stdlib/public/core/CollectionAlgorithms.swift.gyb#L213>.
