Could reproduce this with 32 and 64 bit Cygwin g++ 7.3.0

A comparison of preprocessor (-E) outputs shows that the "extern 
template" declarations for getline() are only visible for C++ <= 14. 
These are guarded by "__cplusplus <= 1402" in basic_string.tcc. This 
should tell the compiler to generate new code for getline() if C++17 is 
enabled instead of calling the (now incompatible) function in 
cygstdc++-6.dll.

A comparison of assembly (-S) outputs shows that this does not work: If 
C++17 is enabled, the compiler correctly generates local code for 
getline(istream &, string &) but this code calls an external 
getline(istream &, string &, char). Then the linker generates a call to 
this getline() in cygstdc++-6.dll.

This is because there is a bogus prototype specialization for 
getline(istream &, string &, char) in basic_string.h but no 
corresponding implementation in basic_string.tcc. This has apparently an 
equivalent effect as 'extern template'.

The attached patch for
   /usr/lib/gcc/*-pc-cygwin/7.3.0/include/c++/bits/basic_string.h
fixes this.
