Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: implement LWG3662
 basic_string::append/assign(NTBS, pos, n) suboptimal

This patch implements LWG3662 for both ABIs of strings.

        * include/bits/basic_string.h(append, assign): Add new
        overloads.
        * include/bits/cow_string.h(append, assign): Ditto.
        * testsuite/21_strings/basic_string/modifiers/append/char/2.cc:
        Test new overloads.
        * testsuite/21_strings/basic_string/modifiers/append/wchar_t/2.cc:
        Ditto.
        * testsuite/21_strings/basic_string/modifiers/assign/char/3.cc:
        Ditto.
