c++: wrong std::is_convertible with cv-qual fn [PR109680]

This PR points out that std::is_convertible has given the wrong answer
in

  static_assert (!std::is_convertible_v <int () const, int (*) ()>, "");

since r13-2822 implemented __is_{,nothrow_}convertible.

std::is_convertible uses the imaginary

  To test() { return std::declval<From>(); }

to do its job.  Here, From is 'int () const'.  std::declval is defined as:

  template<class T>
  typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type declval() noexcept;

std::add_rvalue_reference is defined as "If T is a function type that
has no cv- or ref- qualifier or an object type, provides a member typedef
type which is T&&, otherwise type is T."

In our case, T is cv-qualified, so the result is T, so we end up with

  int () const declval() noexcept;

which is invalid.  In other words, this is pretty much like:

  using T = int () const;
  T fn1(); // bad, fn returning a fn
  T& fn2(); // bad, cannot declare reference to qualified function type
  T* fn3(); // bad, cannot declare pointer to qualified function type

  using U = int ();
  U fn4(); // bad, fn returning a fn
  U& fn5(); // OK
  U* fn6(); // OK

I think is_convertible_helper needs to simulate std::declval better.
I wouldn't be surprised if other type traits needed a similar fix.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk/13?

I've tested the new test with G++12 and clang++ as well (with
std::is_convertible).

	PR c++/109680

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* method.cc (is_convertible_helper): Correct simulating std::declval.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/ext/is_convertible6.C: New test.

Probably we want a build_trait_object that wraps build_stub_object with 
these extra checks, or does something that exercises more of the normal 
code, maybe by tsubsting into T (U&&) with { to, from }?
