When we initially implemented the C++20 synchronization library, we
reluctantly accepted for the implementation to be backported to C++03
upon request from the person who provided the patch. This was when we
were only starting to have experience with the issues this can create,
so we flinched. Nowadays, we have a much stricter stance about not
backporting features to previous standards.
We have recently started fixing several bugs (and near bugs) in our
implementation of the synchronization library. A recurring theme during
these reviews has been how difficult to understand the current code is,
and upon inspection it becomes clear that being able to use a few recent
C++ features (in particular lambdas) would help a great deal. The code
would still be pretty intricate, but it would be a lot easier to reason
about the flow of callbacks through things like
__thread_poll_with_backoff.
As a result, this patch drops support for the synchronization library
before C++20. This makes us more strictly conforming and opens the door
to major simplifications, in particular around atomic_wait which was
supported all the way to C++03.
This change will probably have some impact on downstream users, however
since the C++20 synchronization library was added only in LLVM 10 (~3
years ago) and it's quite a niche feature, the set of people trying to
use this part of the library before C++20 should be reasonably small.

library before C++20. In the next release, we can remove that support
entirely.
There are a handful of standard library types that are intended
to support CTAD but don't need any explicit deduction guides to
do so.
This patch adds a dummy deduction guide to those types to suppress
-Wctad-maybe-unsupported (which gets emitted in user code).
This is a re-application of the original patch by Eric Fiselier in
fcd549a7d828 which had been reverted due to reasons lost at this point.
I also added the macro to a few more types. Reviving this patch was
prompted by the discussion on https://llvm.org/D133425.

Since those features are general properties of the environment, it makes
sense to use them from libc++abi too, and so the name libcpp-has-no-xxx
doesn't make sense.

These can't be made constexpr-constructible (constinit'able),
so they aren't C++20-conforming. Also, the platform versions are
going to be bigger than the atomic/futex version, so we'd have
the awkward situation that `semaphore<42>` could be bigger than
`semaphore<43>`, and that's just silly.

Neither the current C++2b draft, nor any revision of [p1135],
nor libstdc++, claims that `counting_semaphore` should be
default-constructible. I think this was just a copy-paste issue
somehow.
Also, `explicit` was missing from the constructor.
Also, `constexpr` remains missing; but that's probably more of a
technical limitation, since apparently there are some platforms
where we don't (can't??) use the atomic implementation and
have to rely on pthreads, which obviously isn't constexpr.
