Add a new API for `extract_and_get_next()` in b-tree that returns both the extracted node and an iterator to the next element in the container.
Motivation: it can be useful, when calling `extract` to maintain an iterator next to the location of the extracted element. `std::set`, et al. allow for this because they have iterator stability. `absl::{flat,node}_hash_{set,map}` allow for this because they are guaranteed not to rehash when elements are removed so they also have iterator stability across calls to `extract()`. But b-tree doesn't support this use case without this API because removing elements can cause rebalancing, which invalidates iterators. We can get the next iterator without this API using `lower_bound(node_handle.value())`, but that requires an extra lookup.
