[libcxx] Remove VLA from libcxx locale header
The buffer size (`__nbuf`) in `num_put::do_put` is currently not an
integral/core constant expression. As a result, `__nar` is a Variable Length
Array (VLA). VLAs are a GNU extension and not part of the base C++ standard, so
unless there is good reason to do so they probably shouldn't be used in any of
the standard library headers. The call to `__iob.flags()` is the only thing
keeping `__nbuf` from being a compile time constant, so the solution here is to
simply err on the side of caution and always allocate a buffer large enough to
fit the base prefix.
Note that, while the base prefix for hex (`0x`) is slightly longer than the
base prefix for octal (`0`), this isn't a concern. The difference in the space
needed for the value portion of the string is enough to make up for this.
(Unless we're working with small, oddly sized types such as a hypothetical
`uint9_t`, the space needed for the value portion in octal is at least 1 more
than the space needed for the value portion in hex).
This PR also adds `constexpr` to `__nbuf` to enforce compile time const-ness
going forward.
