  Log Message:
  -----------
  [libc++] [P0879] constexpr std::nth_element, and rewrite its tests.

This patch is more than just adding the `constexpr` keyword, because
the old code relied on `goto`, and `goto` is not constexpr-friendly.
Refactor to eliminate `goto`, and then mark it as constexpr in C++20.

I freely admit that the name `__nth_element_partloop` is bad;
I couldn't find any better name because I don't really know
what this loop is doing, conceptually. Vice versa, I think
`__nth_element_find_guard` has a decent name.

Now the only one we're still missing from P0879 is `sort`.
