c++: Unwrap type traits defined in terms of builtins within diagnostics [PR117294]

Currently, concept failures of standard type traits just report
'expression X<T> evaluates to false'.  However, many type traits are
actually defined in terms of compiler builtins; we can do better here.
For instance, 'is_constructible_v' could go on to explain why the type
is not constructible, or 'is_invocable_v' could list potential
candidates.

Apart from concept diagnostics, this is also useful when using such
traits in a 'static_assert' directly, so this patch also adjusts the
diagnostics in that context.

As a first step to supporting that we need to be able to map the
standard type traits to the builtins that they use.  Rather than adding
another list that would need to be kept up-to-date whenever a builtin is
added, this patch instead tries to detect any variable template defined
directly in terms of a TRAIT_EXPR.

This patch also adjusts 'diagnose_trait_expr' to provide more helpful
diagnostics for these cases.  Not all type traits have yet been updated,
this patch just updates those that seem particularly valuable or
straight-forward.  The function also gets moved to cp/semantics.cc to be
closer to 'trait_expr_value'.

Various other parts of the compiler are also adjusted here to assist in
making clear diagnostics, such as making more use of 'is_stub_object' to
refer to a type directly rather than in terms of 'std::declval<T>()'.
Additionally, since there are now more cases of nesting within a
'static_assert'ion I felt it was helpful for the experimental-nesting
mode to nest here as well.
