Remove redundant partial specialization in _Nth_type

This patch remove a redundant partial specialization in class _Nth_type.

For the original metafunction _Nth_type code,
  # 0
  template<typename _Tp0, typename... _Rest>
    struct _Nth_type<0, _Tp0, _Rest...>
    { using type = _Tp0; };
 # 1
  template<typename _Tp0, typename _Tp1, typename... _Rest>
    struct _Nth_type<0, _Tp0, _Tp1, _Rest...>
    { using type = _Tp0; };
  # 2
  template<typename _Tp0, typename _Tp1, typename _Tp2, typename... _Rest>
    struct _Nth_type<0, _Tp0, _Tp1, _Tp2, _Rest...>
    { using type = _Tp0; };
  # 3
  template<size_t _Np, typename _Tp0, typename _Tp1, typename _Tp2,
         typename... _Rest>
#if __cpp_concepts
    requires (_Np >= 3)
#endif
    struct _Nth_type<_Np, _Tp0, _Tp1, _Tp2, _Rest...>
    : _Nth_type<_Np - 3, _Rest...>
    { };

we need partial specialization # 2 to deal with template argument <0, Tp0, Tp1, Tp2, ...>.
Because without concepts, both # 0 and # 3 is legal and there is no partial order relationship between them.
However, # 1 is redundant. For template argument <0, Tp0, Tp1>, #0 is instantiated and that's enough.
