Checking whether a filesystem::path constructor argument is an iterator
requires instantiating std::iterator_traits. In C++20 that checks for
satisfaction of std::iterator_traits constraints, which checks if the
type is copyable, which can end up recursing back to the path
constructor. The fix in LWG 3420 is to reorder the cpp17-iterator
concept's constraints to check if the type looks vaguely like an
iterator before checking copyable. That avoids the recursion for types
which definitely aren't iterators, but isn't foolproof.

        Reorder constraints to avoid recursion when constructors use

Tested powerpc64le-linux, committed to master.

This needs to be backported to gcc-10 too.

    libstdc++: Avoid constraint recursion with iterator_traits (PR 93983)
    
    Checking whether a filesystem::path constructor argument is an iterator
    requires instantiating std::iterator_traits. In C++20 that checks for
    satisfaction of std::iterator_traits constraints, which checks if the
    type is copyable, which can end up recursing back to the path
    constructor. The fix in LWG 3420 is to reorder the cpp17-iterator
    concept's constraints to check if the type looks vaguely like an
    iterator before checking copyable. That avoids the recursion for types
    which definitely aren't iterators, but isn't foolproof.
