PR 116529 shows that std::unique_ptr<X&, D> is currently unusable
because the constructor taking std::auto_ptr (which is a non-standard
extension since C++17) tries to form the invalid type X&* during
overload resolution. We can use the `pointer` type in the constructor
constraints, instead of trying to form an invalid type. The
std::auto_ptr constructor can never actually match for the case where
element_type is a reference, so we just need it to produce a
substitution failure instead of being ill-formed.
LWG 4144 might make std::unique_ptr<X&, D> ill-formed, which would
invalidate this new test. We would have to remove this test in that
case. Using `pointer` in the constructor from std::auto_ptr would not be
needed to support the std::unique_ptr<X&, D> case, but would not cause
any harm either.
