Following up on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/98841.
Changes:
- Properly test convertible types for `std::isnan()` and `std::inf()`
- Tighten conditional in `cmath.pass.cpp` (Find insights on `_LIBCPP_PREFERRED_OVERLOAD` below)
- Tighten preprocessor guard in `traits.h`
Insights into why `_LIBCPP_PREFERRED_OVERLOAD` is needed:
(i) When libc++ is layered on top of glibc on Linux, glibc's `math.h` is
included. When compiling with `-std=c++03`, this header brings the
function declaration of `isinf(double)` [1] and `isnan(double)` [2]
into scope. This differs from the C99 Standard as only the macros
`#define isnan(arg)` and `#define isinf(arg)` are expected.
Therefore, libc++ needs to respect the presense of the `double` overload
and cannot redefine it as it will conflict with the declaration already
in scope. For `-std=c++11` and beyond this issue is fixed, as glibc
guards both the `isinf` and `isnan` by preprocessor macros.
(ii) When libc++ is layered on top of Bionic's libc, `math.h` exposes a
function prototype for `isinf(double)` with return type `int`. This
function prototype in Bionic's libc is not guarded by any preprocessor
macros [3].
`_LIBCPP_PREFERRED_OVERLOAD` specifies that a given overload is a better match
than an otherwise equally good function declaration. This is implemented in
modern versions of Clang via `__attribute__((__enable_if__))`, and not elsewhere.
See [4] for details. We use `_LIBCPP_PREFERRED_OVERLOAD` to define overloads in
the global namespace that displace the overloads provided by the C
libraries mentioned above.

First, fix a collision with the Point type from MacTypes.h, which was
reported on Slack, 2022-07-31: https://cpplang.slack.com/archives/C2X659D1B/p1659284691275889
Second, rename the meta:: namespace to types::. OSX's "/usr/include/ncurses.h"
defines a `meta` function, and is (for some reason) included in
"<SDK>/usr/include/module.modulemap", so that identifier is off-limits
for us to use in anything that compiles with -fmodules:
libcxx/test/support/type_algorithms.h:16:11: error: redefinition of 'meta' as different kind of symbol
namespace meta {
^
<SDK>/usr/include/ncurses.h:603:28: note: previous definition is here
extern NCURSES_EXPORT(int) meta (WINDOW *,bool); /* implemented */
^
Finally, add a CI configuration for modules on OS X to make sure it
does not regress.
