Tested x86_64-linux, pushed to gcc-10 branch.

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.
