fca4e2add0 Make dereferencing a void* a hard-error instead of warn-as-error
Clang 16 changed to consider dereferencing a void* to be a
warning-as-error, plus made this an error in SFINAE contexts, since this
resulted in incorrect template instantiation.  When doing so, the Clang
16 documentation was updated to reflect that this was likely to change
again to a non-disablable error in the next version.

As there has been no response to changing from a warning to an error, I
believe this is a non-controversial change.

This patch changes this to be an Error, consistent with the standard and
other compilers.

6685e56ced Disallow dereferencing of void* in C++.
as Discussed:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-can-we-stop-the-extension-to-allow-dereferencing-void-in-c/65708

There is no good reason to allow this when the other compilers all
reject this, and it messes with SFINAE/constraint checking.
