    libstdc++: Fix regression in memory use when constructing paths
    
    The changes in r12-4381 were intended to reduce memory usage, but
    replacing the __contiguous constant in __string_from_range with the new
    __is_contiguous variable template caused a regression. The old code
    checked is_pointer_v<decltype(std::__niter_base(__first))> but he new
    code just checks is_pointer_v<_InputIterator>. This means that we no
    longer recognise basic_string::iterator and vector::iterator as
    contiguous, and so return a temporary basic_string instead of a
    basic_string_view. This only affects C++17 mode, because the
    std::contiguous_iterator concept is used in C++20 which gives the right
    answer for __normal_iterator (and more types as well).
    
    The fix is to specialize the new __is_contiguous variable template so it
    is true for __normal_iterator<T*, C> specializations. The new partial
    specializations are defined for C++20 too, because it should be cheaper
    to match the partial specialization than to check whether the
    std::contiguous_iterator concept is satisfied.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/fs_path.h (__detail::__is_contiguous): Add
            partial specializations for pointers and __normal_iterator.
