Pedro Alves 1945192cb9 Rewrite valid-expr.h's internals in terms of the detection idiom (C++17/N4502)
An earlier attempt at doing this had failed (wouldn't work in GCCs
around 4.8, IIRC), but now that I try again, it works.  I suspect that
my previous attempt did not use the pre C++14-safe void_t (in
traits.h).

I want to switch to this model because:

 - It's the standard detection idiom that folks will learn starting
   with C++17.

 - In the enum_flags unit tests, I have a static_assert that triggers
   a warning (resulting in build error), which GCC does not suppress
   because the warning is not being triggered in the SFINAE context.
   Switching to the detection idiom fixes that.  Alternatively,
   switching to the C++03-style expression-validity checking with a
   varargs overload would allow addressing that, but I think that
   would be going backwards idiomatically speaking.

 - While this patch shows a net increase of lines of code, the magic
   being added to traits.h can be removed in a few years when we start
   requiring C++17.

gdbsupport/ChangeLog:

	* traits.h (struct nonesuch, struct detector, detected_or)
	(detected_or_t, is_detected, detected_t, detected_or)
	(detected_or_t, is_detected_exact, is_detected_convertible): New.
	* valid-expr.h (CHECK_VALID_EXPR_INT): Use gdb::is_detected_exact.

/* Macro that uses SFINAE magic to detect whether the EXPR expression
is either valid or ill-formed, at compile time, without actually
producing compile-time errors. I.e., check that bad uses of the
types (e.g., involving mismatching types) would be caught at
compile time. If the expression is valid, also check whether the
expression has the right type.
EXPR must be defined in terms of some of the template parameters,
so that template substitution failure discards the overload instead
of causing a real compile error. TYPES is thus the list of types
involved in the expression, and TYPENAMES is the same list, but
with each element prefixed by "typename". These are passed as
template parameter types to the templates within the macro.
VALID is a boolean that indicates whether the expression is
supposed to be valid or invalid.
EXPR_TYPE is the expected type of EXPR. Only meaningful iff VALID
is true. If VALID is false, then you must pass "void" as expected
type.
Each invocation of the macro is wrapped in its own namespace to
avoid ODR violations. The generated namespace only includes the
line number, so client code should wrap sets of calls in a
test-specific namespace too, to fully guarantee uniqueness between
the multiple clients in the codebase. */
