change return type of slice_shift_char

`slice_shift_char` splits a `str` into it's leading `char` and the remainder of the `str`. Currently, it returns a `(Option<char>, &str)` such that:

    "bar".slice_shift_char() => (Some('b'), "ar")
    "ar".slice_shift_char()  => (Some('a'), "r")
    "r".slice_shift_char()   => (Some('r'), "")
    "".slice_shift_char()    => (None,      "")

This is a little odd. Either a `str` can be split into both a head and a tail or it cannot. So the return type should be `Option<(char, &str)>`. With the current behaviour, in the case of the empty string, the `str` returned is meaningless - it is always the empty string.

This PR changes `slice_shift_char` so that:

    "bar".slice_shift_char() => Some(('b', "ar"))
    "ar".slice_shift_char()  => Some(('a', "r"))
    "r".slice_shift_char()   => Some(('r', ""))
    "".slice_shift_char()    => None
