Feature request: Writer::terminate_record #302

Description

What version of the csv crate are you using?

1.2.0

Briefly describe the question, bug or feature request.

csv::Writer::write_field suggests to use write_record with empty iterator to terminate a record:

Note that if this API is used, write_record should be called with an empty iterator to write a record terminator.

However, using write_record this way requires a clumsy turbofish, as shown in the documentation:

wtr.write_record(None::<&[u8]>)?;

It is even more confusing if user tries to go the wtr.write_recrord::<?, ?>(...); route instead.

I suggest to add a dedicated method like terminate_record that is equivalent to write_record(None::<&[u8]>), then update documentation of write_field to use that method.
