[libcxx-dev] Non-merged type info name comparison

[Shoaib Meenai via libcxx-dev]

In https://reviews.llvm.org/rL361913, libc++ gained the option to make type info comparisons use a strcmp on the type info name, which is useful for when we can’t guarantee RTTI uniqueness. I believe libstdc++ also defaults to strcmp comparisons. However, libstdc++ doesn’t perform the string comparison when the type info name begins with the * character [1], which is the case for e.g. types defined in anonymous namespaces. Should libc++’s implementation be changed to match, at least when targeting Linux?
