Some embedded platforms do not wish to support the C library functionality
for handling wchar_t because they have no use for it. It makes sense for
libc++ to work properly on those platforms, so this commit adds a carve-out
of functionality for wchar_t.
Unfortunately, unlike some other carve-outs (e.g. random device), this
patch touches several parts of the library. However, despite the wide
impact of this patch, I still think it is important to support this
configuration since it makes it much simpler to port libc++ to some
embedded platforms.

This implements the struct `__format_arg_store` and its dependencies:
* the class basic_format_arg,
* the class basic_format_args,
* the class basic_format_context,
* the function make_format_args,
* the function wmake_format_args,
* the function visit_format_arg,
* several Standard required typedefs.
The following parts will be implemented in a later patch:
* the child class `basic_format_arg::handle`,
* the function `basic_format_arg::basic_format_arg(const T* p)`.
The following extension has been implemented:
* the class basic_format_arg supports `__[u]int128_t` on platform where libc++ supports 128 bit integrals.
Implements parts of:
* P0645 Text Formatting
Completes:
* LWG3371 visit_format_arg and make_format_args are not hidden friends
* LWG3542 basic_format_arg mishandles basic_string_view with custom traits
