The std::move and std::move_backward algorithms dispatch to the
std::__memmove helper when appropriate. That function uses a
pointer-to-const for the source values, preventing them from being
moved. The two callers of that function have the same problem.

Rather than altering __memmove and its callers to work with const or
non-const source pointers, this takes a more conservative approach of
casting away the const at the point where we want to do a move
assignment. This relies on the fact that we only use __memmove when the
type is trivially copyable, so we know the move assignment doesn't alter
the source anyway.

Oops, I forgot to 'git add' one of the new tests.

Tested x86_64-linux, committed to master.

I think what I'd really like to do is get rid of __memmove entirely.
We already have code that does the explicit assignment in a loop, for
the cases where we can't use __builtin_memmove because the type is not
trivially copyable.

We should just use that existing code during constant evaluation, i.e.
don't do the __builtin_memmove optimizations during constant
evaluation. It seems much cleaner to just not use the optimization
rather than wrap it to be usable in constant expressions.

We already have to do that for {copy,move}_backward anyway, because
__memmove doesn't correctly implement the std::memmove semantics for
overlapping ranges. But we do it **wrong** and turn copy_backward into
move_backward during constant evaluation.

Here's a patch that gets rid of __memmove and fixes that bug
(generated with 'git diff -b' so that the changes to the logic aren't
obscured by the whitespace changes caused by re-indenting).

Maybe I should just go ahead and do this now, since __memmove (and the
problems it causes) are new for GCC 10 anyway. That would revert
<bits/stl_algobase.h> to something closer to the GCC 9 version.

Looks good to me.

I've committed it now.

It's not strictly a regression, because the bug only happens when
using std::copy_backwards in a constant expression, which never
compiled before GCC 10 anyway. But enabling it to be used in constant
expressions but with incorrect results doesn't seem useful.
