The note and example in [class.union] p6 think that placement new can be
used to change the active member of a union, but we didn't support that for
array members in constant-evaluation even after implementing P1330 and
P2747.
First I tried to address this by introducing a CLOBBER_BEGIN_OBJECT for the
entire array, but that broke the resolution of LWG3436, which invokes 'new
T[1]' for an array T, and trying to clobber a multidimensional array when
the actual object is single-dimensional breaks. So I've raised that issue
with the committee. Until that is resolved, this patch takes a simpler
approach: allow initialization of an element of an array to make the array
the active member of a union.
