Wide NumericRange.iterator could avoid `IllegalArgumentException: More than Int.MaxValue elements.`

[retronym]

Reproduction steps

Scala version: 2.13.16

scala> try { ((0L).until(Int.MaxValue.toLong + 1)).iterator } catch { case ex: IllegalArgumentException => ex.printStackTrace }
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: More than Int.MaxValue elements.

	at scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange$.count(NumericRange.scala:443)
	at scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange.length$lzycompute(NumericRange.scala:76)
	at scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange.length(NumericRange.scala:76)

	at scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange$NumericRangeIterator.<init>(NumericRange.scala:530)
	at scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange.iterator(NumericRange.scala:56)

Problem

In the spirit of the fix in scala/scala#10259, NumericRangeIterator could possible be reworked in terns of crossesTheEndAfterN to avoid calling length and tripping the exception
