VecDeque::partition_point checks first element in back slice only…

… once

I noticed that the first element of the `back` slice is potentially checked twice for the `partition_point` method, first in an if-condition and second inside the respective body.

In this change, the back slice is reduced by the first element and this offset is added to the result.

I am not sure how to trigger benchmarks for this, I assume doing this PR is the way to go for bors.

Please tell me if this is not how pull requests should be done.
