We continue to support dynamic exception specifications in C++1z as an
extension, but produce an error-by-default warning when we encounter one. This
allows users to opt back into the feature with a warning flag, and implicitly
opts system headers back into the feature should they happen to use it.
There is one semantic change implied by P0003R5 but not implemented here:
violating a throw() exception specification should now call std::terminate
directly instead of calling std::unexpected(), but since P0003R5 also removes
std::unexpected() and std::set_unexpected, and the default unexpected handler
calls std::terminate(), a conforming C++1z program cannot tell that we are
still calling it. The upside of this strategy is perfect backwards
compatibility; the downside is that we don't get the more efficient 'noexcept'
codegen for 'throw()'.

This has the following ABI impact:
1) Functions whose parameter or return types are non-throwing function pointer
types have different manglings in c++1z mode from prior modes. This is
necessary because c++1z permits overloading on the noexceptness of function
pointer parameter types. A warning is issued for cases that will change
manglings in c++1z mode.
2) Functions whose parameter or return types contain instantiation-dependent
exception specifications change manglings in all modes. This is necessary
to support overloading on / SFINAE in these exception specifications, which
a careful reading of the standard indicates has essentially always been
permitted.
Note that, in order to be affected by these changes, the code in question must
specify an exception specification on a function pointer/reference type that is
written syntactically within the declaration of another function. Such
declarations are very rare, and I have so far been unable to find any code
that would be affected by this. (Note that such things will probably become
more common in C++17, since it's a lot easier to get a noexcept function type
as a function parameter / return type there.)
This change does not affect the set of symbols produced by a build of clang,
libc++, or libc++abi.
