I think this change means some testcases will never test std::string
with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG defined, because if that is defined they test
__gnu_debug::string instead. That means assertions in
std::basic_string like this one will not get tested:

  template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    _GLIBCXX_STRING_CONSTEXPR
    typename basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::size_type
    basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::
    find(const _CharT* __s, size_type __pos, size_type __n) const
    _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT
    {
      __glibcxx_requires_string_len(__s, __n);

Are we OK with never testing those assertions?

Currently they don't get tested by default because of the extern
template declarations for std::string, so they would only be tested
with -std=c++20 -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC, which I
don't test routinely. So I suppose this change doesn't make things any
worse in practice.

Nice catch.

OK for trunk, thanks.
