- Implement C++20's changes to `reverse_iterator`, so that it won't be
accidentally counted as a contiguous iterator in C++20 mode.
- Implement C++20's changes to `move_iterator` as well.
- `move_iterator` should not be contiguous. This fixes a bug where
we optimized `std::copy`-of-move-iterators in an observable way.
Add a regression test for that bugfix.
- Add libcxx tests for `__is_cpp17_contiguous_iterator` of all relevant
standard iterator types. Particularly check that vector::iterator
is still considered contiguous in all C++ modes, even C++03.
After this patch, there continues to be no supported way to write your
own iterator type in C++17-and-earlier such that libc++ will consider it
"contiguous"; however, we now fully support the C++20 approach (in C++20
mode only). If you want user-defined contiguous iterators in C++17-and-earlier,
libc++'s position is "please upgrade to C++20."

In addition to making the code a lot easier to grasp by localizing many
helper functions to the only file where they are actually needed, this
will allow creating helper functions that depend on allocator_traits
outside of <memory>.
This is done as part of implementing array support in allocate_shared,
which requires non-trivial array initialization algorithms that would be
better to keep out of <memory> for sanity. It's also a first step towards
splitting up our monolithic headers into finer grained ones, which will
make it easier to reuse functionality across the library. For example,
it's just weird that we had to define `addressof` inside <type_traits>
to avoid circular dependencies -- instead it's better to implement those
in true helper headers.
