Add 2-arity version of `cycle` that takes the numer of times to "repeat" the coll

Question

There are already similar arities for repeat/repeatedly and similar functions, this patch adds a 2-arity version of cycle that behaves like this:

user> (cycle 0 '(1 2)) () user> (cycle -1 '(1 2)) () user> (cycle 3 '(1 2)) (1 2 1 2 1 2) user> (cycle 1 '(1 2)) (1 2)

Patch 0001-Add-2-arity-version-of-cycle-that-takes-the-number-o.patch dated Apr 28 2014 no longer applies cleanly to latest Clojure master due to some changes committed earlier today. This appears trivial to update, as it is likely only a couple of lines of diff context that have changed.
