This patch gets rid of technical debt around std::pointer_safety which,
I claim, is entirely unnecessary. I don't think anybody has used
std::pointer_safety in actual code because we do not implement the
underlying garbage collection support. In fact, P2186 even proposes
removing these facilities entirely from a future C++ version. As such,
I think it's entirely fine to get rid of complex workarounds whose goals
were to avoid breaking the ABI back in 2017.
I'm putting this up both to get reviews and to discuss this proposal for
a breaking change. I think we should be comfortable with making these
tiny breaks if we are confident they won't hurt anyone, which I'm fairly
confident is the case here.

This makes it clear that headers like <memory> which include auto_ptr
only do that when compiling under an older Standard, or when the removed
feature is explicitly requested.
- 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."

The implementation had a lot of boilerplate and was more complicated than
necessary. This NFC refactoring introduces a few macros to reduce code
duplication, and uses a consistent style and formatting for the whole file.

When the allocator is only explicitly convertible from other specializations
of itself, the new version of std::allocate_shared would not work because
it would try to do an implicit conversion. This patch fixes the problem
and adds a test so that we don't fall into the same trap in the future.
This commit is a step towards making it easier to add support for arrays
in allocate_shared. Adding support for arrays will require writing multiple
functions, and the current complexity of writing allocate_shared is
prohibitive for understanding.

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.
