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.
