Does the text of these new diagnostics look good?
There are of course other ways for a type to be not-formattable (e.g.
the formatter::format member doesn't return the right type or has some
other kind of incorrect signature, or the formatter::parse member isn't
constexpr) but we can't predict/detect them all reliably. This just
attempts to give a user-friendly explanation for a couple of common
mistakes. It should not have any false positives, because the
basic_format_arg constructor requires __formattable_with<_Tp, _Context>
so if either of these assertions fails, constructing __arg will fail
too. The static_assert only adds a more readable error for a
compilation that's going to fail anyway.
Tested x86_64-linux.

This adds two new static_assert messages to the internals of
std::make_format_args to give better diagnostics for invalid format
args. Rather than just getting an error saying that basic_format_arg
cannot be constructed, we get more specific errors for the cases where
std::formatter isn't specialized for the type at all, and where it's
specialized but only meets the BasicFormatter requirements and so can
only format non-const arguments.
Also add a test for the existing static_assert when constructing a
format_string for non-formattable args.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* include/std/format (_Arg_store::_S_make_elt): Add two
static_assert checks to give more user-friendly error messages.
* testsuite/lib/prune.exp (libstdc++-dg-prune): Prune another
form of "in requirements with" note.
* testsuite/std/format/arguments/args_neg.cc: Check for
user-friendly diagnostics for non-formattable types.
* testsuite/std/format/string_neg.cc: Likewise.
