This uses C++11 features to simplify the definition of the
__normal_iterator constructor that allows converting from iterator to
const_iterator. The previous definition relied on _Container::pointer
which is present in std::vector and std::basic_string, but is not
actually part of the container requirements.
Removing the use of _Container::pointer and defining it in terms of
is_convertible allows __normal_iterator to be used with new container
types which do not define a pointer member. Specifically, this will
allow it to be used in std::basic_stacktrace.
In theory this will enable some conversions which were not previously
permitted, for example __normal_iterator<volatile T*, vector<T>> can
now be converted to __normal_iterator<const volatile T*, vector<T>>.
In practice this doesn't matter because the library never uses such
types. In any case, allowing those conversions is consistent with
the corresponding constructors of std::reverse_iterator and
std::move_iterator.
