c++: Allow indeterminate unsigned char or std::byte in bit_cast - P1272R4
P1272R4 has added to the std::byteswap new stuff to me quite unrelated
clarification for std::bit_cast.
The patch treats it as DR, applying to all languages.
We no longer diagnose if padding bits are stored into unsigned char
or std::byte result, fields or bitfields, instead arrange for that result,
those fields or bitfields to get indeterminate value (empty
CONSTRUCTOR with CONSTRUCTOR_NO_ZEROING or just leaving the member's
initializer out and setting CONSTRUCTOR_NO_ZEROING on parent).
We still have a bug that we don't diagnose in lots of places lvalue-to-rvalue
conversions of indeterminate values or class objects with some indeterminate
members.

ctor. Use clear_uchar_or_std_byte_in_mask.
