These using-declarations appear to have been added for simplicity when
moving the non-standard extensions from namespace std to namespace
__gnu_cxx. Dumping all these names into namespace __gnu_cxx allows
uses like __gnu_cxx::size_t and __gnu_cxx::pair, which serve no useful
purpose, but allows creating unnecessarily unportable code.

This patch removes most of the using-declarations from namespace scope,
then either qualifies names as needed or adds using-declarations at
block scope or typedefs at class scope.

        * include/backward/hashtable.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t)
        (forward_iterator_tag, input_iterator_tag, _Construct, _Destroy)
        (distance, vector, pair, __iterator_category): Remove
        using-declarations that add these names to namespace __gnu_cxx.
        * include/ext/bitmap_allocator.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/debug_allocator.h (size_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/functional (size_t, unary_function, binary_function)
        (mem_fun1_t, const_mem_fun1_t, mem_fun1_ref_t, const_mem_fun1_ref_t):
        Likewise.
        * include/ext/malloc_allocator.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/memory (ptrdiff_t, pair, __iterator_category): Likewise.
        * include/ext/mt_allocator.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/new_allocator.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/numeric (iota): Fix outdated comment.
        * include/ext/pool_allocator.h (size_t, ptrdiff_t): Likewise.
        * include/ext/rb_tree (_Rb_tree, allocator): Likewise.
        * include/ext/rope (size_t, ptrdiff_t, allocator, _Destroy): Likewise.
        * include/ext/ropeimpl.h (size_t, printf, basic_ostream)
        (__throw_length_error, _Destroy, std::__uninitialized_fill_n_a):
        Likewise.
        * include/ext/slist (size_t, ptrdiff_t, _Construct, _Destroy)
        (allocator, __true_type, __false_type): Likewise.

Does anybody think we should keep __gnu_cxx::size_t,
__gnu_cxx::input_iterator_tag, __gnu_cxx::vector, __gnu_cxx::pair etc.
or should I go ahead and commit this?

Committed to trunk.
