    libstdc++: Remove overzealous static_asserts from std::span
    
    For a span with statically empty extent, we currently model the
    preconditions of front(), back(), and operator[] as if they are
    mandates, by using a static_assert to verify that extent != 0.  This
    causes us to reject valid programs that would instantiate these member
    functions and at runtime never call them.
    
    Since they are already followed by more general runtime asserts, this
    patch just removes these static_asserts altogether,
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/std/span (span::front): Remove static_assert.
            (span::back): Likewise.
            (span::operator[]): Likewise.
            * testsuite/23_containers/span/back_neg.cc: Rewrite to verify
            that we check the preconditions of back() only when it's called.
            * testsuite/23_containers/span/front_neg.cc: Likewise for
            front().
            * testsuite/23_containers/span/index_op_neg.cc: Likewise for
            operator[].
