PR libstdc++/71044 optimize std::filesystem::path construction

This new implementation has a smaller footprint than the previous
implementation, due to replacing std::vector<_Cmpt> with a custom pimpl
type that only needs a single pointer. The _M_type enumeration is also
combined with the pimpl type, by using a tagged pointer, reducing
sizeof(path) further still.

Construction and modification of paths is now done more efficiently, by
splitting the input into a stack-based buffer of string_view objects
instead of a dynamically-allocated vector containing strings. Once the
final size is known only a single allocation is needed to reserve space
for it.  The append and concat operations no longer require constructing
temporary path objects, nor re-parsing the entire native pathname.

This results in algorithmic improvements to path construction, and
working with large paths is much faster.

PR libstdc++/71044
* include/bits/fs_path.h (path::path(path&&)): Add noexcept when
appropriate. Move _M_cmpts instead of reparsing the native pathname.

(path::operator/=, path::append): Call _M_append.
(path::concat): Call _M_concat.

basic_string_view<value_type>.
(path::_M_append(basic_string_view<value_type>)): New member function.

(_S_convert(const value_type*, const value_type*)): Add overloads for
pairs of pointers.

(path::_M_trim, path::_M_add_root_name, path::_M_add_root_dir)
(path::_M_add_filename): Remove.
(path::_M_type()): New member function to replace _M_type data member.
(path::_List): Define new struct type instead of using std::vector.
(path::_Cmpt::_Cmpt(string_type, _Type, size_t)): Change type of
first parameter to basic_string_view<value_type>.
(path::operator+=(const path&)): Do not define inline.
(path::operator+=(const string_type&)): Call _M_concat.
(path::operator+=(const value_type*)): Likewise.
(path::operator+=(value_type)): Likewise.
(path::operator+=(basic_string_view<value_type>)): Likewise.
(path::operator/=(const path&)): Do not define inline.
(path::_M_append(path)): Remove.
* python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py (StdPathPrinter): New printer that
understands the new path::_List type.

path::_S_is_dir_sep.

(path::_List::_Impl): Define container type for path components.
(path::_List): Define members.

strong exception safety guarantee.
(path::operator/=(const path&)): Implement manually by processing
each component of the argument, rather than using _M_split_cmpts
to parse the entire string again.
(path::_M_append(string_type)): Likewise.
(path::operator+=(const path&)): Likewise.
(path::_M_concat(string_type)): Likewise.
(path::remove_filename()): Perform trim directly instead of calling
_M_trim().

(path::_M_trim, path::_M_add_root_name, path::_M_add_root_dir)
(path::_M_add_filename): Remove.

string view that aliases the path.

a string view that aliases the path.
