    libstdc++: Improve diagnostics for misuses of output iterators
    
    This adds deleted overloads so that the errors for invalid uses of
    std::advance and std::distance are easier to understand (see for example
    PR 102181).
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/stl_iterator_base_funcs.h (__advance): Add
            deleted overload to improve diagnostics.
            (__distance): Likewise.
