Add a times() method to complement <cfloop times>

Description

As per: http://blog.adamcameron.me/2015/04/lucee-5-beta-misc-1.html

Probably like this:

5.times(function(current){});

Another CFScript syntax option could be:

for (5){
    // stuff here
}

Although perhaps implementing ranges and then have:

for(range){ // where the range might be {{[5]}} or {{[5..5]}} to be analogous to the above
    // stuff here
}

Well: whatever the name of the argument to the callback is is is up to you, isn't it?

FWIW calling an argument `it` is really undescriptive.

And Lucee hasn't implemented `final` variables yet (go and vote: 286), so they'd need to do that before you could specify that your callback argument is final. But again: that's down do you, it's nothing to do with the `times()` method itself. But given it's your own code that you're writing in the callback, I wonder why you'd do that?
