Subject: [PATCH] [libc++] Use __wrap_iter in string_view and array in the
 unstable ABI

std::string_view and std::array iterators don't have to be raw pointers,
and in fact other implementations don't represent them as raw pointers.
Them being raw pointers in libc++ makes it easier for users to write
non-portable code. This is bad in itself, but this is even worse when
considering efforts like hardening where we want an easy ability to
swap for a different iterator type. If users depend on iterators being
raw pointers, this becomes a build break.

Hence, this patch enables the use of __wrap_iter in the unstable ABI,
creating a long term path towards making this the default. This patch
may break code that assumes these iterators are raw pointers for
people compiling with the unstable ABI.
