    libstdc++: Avoid try-catch and O(N) size in std::list::merge for old ABI
    
    The current std::list::merge code calls size() before starting to merge
    any elements, so that the _M_size members can be updated after the merge
    finishes. The work is done in a try-block so that the sizes can still be
    updated in an exception handler if any element comparison throws.
    
    The _M_size members only exist for the cxx11 ABI, so the initial call to
    size() and the try-catch are only needed for that ABI. For the old ABI
    the size() call performs an O(N) list traversal to get a value that
    isn't even used, and catching exceptions just to rethrow them isn't
    needed either.
    
    In r11-10123 this code was refactored to use an RAII guard type, but for
    the gcc-10 branch a less invasive change using preprocessor conditionals
    seems more appropriate.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/list.tcc (list::merge) [!USE_CXX11_ABI]: Remove
            call to size() and try-catch block.
