Rename namespace Rules to Validators
Since that namespace contains our “validators”, naming it as such makes
much more sense.

# IterableVal
- `IterableVal()`
Validates whether the input is an iterable value, in other words, if you can iterate over it with the [foreach][] language construct.
```php
v::iterableVal()->isValid([]); // true
v::iterableVal()->isValid(new ArrayObject()); // true
v::iterableVal()->isValid(new stdClass()); // true
v::iterableVal()->isValid('string'); // false
```
## Note
This validator doesn't behave as PHP's [is_iterable() function because it considers that you can iterate over any object.
