ngRepeat: $previous and $next

[lukehorvat]

ngRepeat currently exposes a few handy (but not 100% necessary) scope properties like $last and $odd. It would be nice to also have $previous (the previous collection item) and $next (the next collection item). Many times I've needed to render a "difference" value for the current item and the previous/next one, and I've had to resort to reaching back into the collection using $index ± 1, which isn't as readable. It's a common feature in iterator implementations.

A possibility for post 1.7.0 perhaps?
