Mention `for` in the section on loops

The "4.3 Loops" section only describes `while` and `loop`. We then see `for`
used in a code sample at the end of the "13. Vectors and strings" section,
but it's explained for the first time only in the next section --
"14. Closures".

It is worth mentioning it in "4.3 Loops".

This code prints out a weird sequence of numbers and stops as soon as
it finds one that can be divided by five.
For more involved iteration, such as enumerating the elements of a
collection, Rust uses [higher-order functions](#closures).
Rust also has a `for` construct. It's different from C's `for` and it works
best when iterating over collections. See the section on [closures](#closures)
to find out how to use `for` and higher-order functions for enumerating
elements of a collection.
