We plan to add concepts for checking that iterators actually provide what they claim to. This is to avoid people thinking that these type traits actually check the iterator requirements in more detail.

This change is almost fully mechanical. The only interesting change is in `generate_feature_test_macro_components.py` to generate `_LIBCPP_STD_VER >=` instead. To avoid churn in the git-blame this commit should be added to the `.git-blame-ignore-revs` once committed.

The implementation makes use of the freedom added by LWG 3410. We have
two variants of this algorithm:
* a fast path for random access iterators: This fast path computes the
maximum number of loop iterations up-front and does not compare the
iterators against their limits on every loop iteration.
* A basic implementation for all other iterators: This implementation
compares the iterators against their limits in every loop iteration.
However, it still takes advantage of the freedom added by LWG 3410 to
avoid unnecessary additional iterator comparisons, as originally
specified by P1614R2.
https://godbolt.org/z/7xbMEen5e shows the benefit of the fast path:
The hot loop generated of `lexicographical_compare_three_way3` is
more tight than for `lexicographical_compare_three_way1`. The added
benchmark illustrates how this leads to a 30% - 50% performance
improvement on integer vectors.
