path uses string::append to construct, append, and concatenate paths. Unfortunatly
string::append has a strong exception safety guaranteed and if it can't prove
that the iterator operations don't throw then it will allocate a temporary
string copy to append to. However this extra allocation and copy is very
undesirable for path which doesn't have the same exception guarantees.
To work around this this patch adds string::__append_forward_unsafe which exposes
the std::string::append interface for forward iterators without enforcing
that the iterator is noexcept.

This patch fixes a performance bug when constructing or appending to a path
from a string or c-string. Previously we called 'push_back' to append every
single character. This caused multiple re-allocation and copies when at most
one reallocation is necessary. The new behavior is to simply call
`string::append` so it can correctly handle reallocation.
For large strings this change is a ~4x improvement. This also makes our path
faster to construct than libstdc++'s.

This patch entirely rewrites the parsing logic for paths. Unlike the previous
implementation this one stores information about the current state; For example
if we are in a trailing separator or a root separator. This avoids the need for
extra lookahead (and extra work) when incrementing or decrementing an iterator.
Roughly this gives us a 15% speedup over the previous implementation.
Unfortunately this implementation is still a lot slower than libstdc++'s.
Because libstdc++ pre-parses and splits the path upon construction their
iterators are trivial to increment/decrement. This makes libc++ lazy parsing
100x slower than libstdc++. However the pre-parsing libstdc++ causes a ton
of extra and unneeded allocations when constructing the string. For example
`path("/foo/bar/")` would require at least 5 allocations with libstdc++
whereas libc++ uses only one. The non-allocating behavior is much preferable
when you consider filesystem usages like 'exists("/foo/bar/")'.
Even then libc++'s path seems to be twice as slow to simply construct compared
to libstdc++. More investigation is needed about this.

Summary:
This patch fixes a number of problems with the visibility macros across GCC (on Unix) and Windows (DLL import/export semantics). All of the visibility macros are now documented under `DesignDocs/VisibilityMacros.rst`. Now I'll no longer forget the subtleties of each!
This patch adds two new visibility macros:
* `_LIBCPP_ENUM_VIS` for controlling the typeinfo of enum types. Only Clang supports this.
* `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS` for redefining visibility on explicit instantiation declarations. Clang and Windows require this.
After applying this patch GCC only emits one -Wattribute warning opposed to 30+.

This changes how filesystem::permissions(p, perms) handles symlinks. Previously
symlinks were not resolved by default instead only getting resolved when
"perms::resolve_symlinks" was used. After this change symlinks are resolved
by default and perms::symlink_nofollow must be given to change this.
This issue has not yet been moved to Ready status, and I will revert if it
doesn't get moved at the current meeting. However I feel confident that it
will and it's nice to have implementations when moving issues.

Add the completed std::experimental::filesystem implementation and tests.
The implementation supports C++11 or newer.
The TS is built as part of 'libc++experimental.a'. Users of the TS need to
manually link this library. Building and testing the TS can be disabled using
the CMake option '-DLIBCXX_ENABLE_FILESYSTEM=OFF'.
Currently 'libc++experimental.a' is not installed by default. To turn on the
installation of the library use '-DLIBCXX_INSTALL_EXPERIMENTAL_LIBRARY=ON'.
