This change splits the _LIBCPP_STRING_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_LIST up into a _LIBCPP_STRING_V1_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_LIST containing the stable ABI, and a _LIBCPP_STRING_UNSTABLE_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_LIST containing the unstable ABI.

The purpose is to explicitly define and maintain the two lists, where the unstable ABI allows for ABI breaking changes for purposes such as optimization while offering a strong guarantee that any change inside the unstable ABI does not affect the stable ABI.

As per the comment in the __string header, we do still allow etries to be added to the stable ABI list as the c++ versions and corresponding c++ std API changes.

Merge branch 'master' into unstable-abi-list
