Instead of using `reverse_iterator`, share the optimization between the 4 algorithms. The key observation here that `memmove` applies to both `copy` and `move` identically, and to their `_backward` versions very similarly. All algorithms now follow the same pattern along the lines of:
```
if constexpr (can_memmove<InIter, OutIter>) {
memmove(first, last, out);
} else {
naive_implementation(first, last, out);
}
```
A follow-up will delete `unconstrained_reverse_iterator`.
This patch removes duplication and divergence between `std::copy`, `std::move` and `std::move_backward`. It also improves testing:
- the test for whether the optimization is used only applied to `std::copy` and, more importantly, was essentially a no-op because it would still pass if the optimization was not used;
- there were no tests to make sure the optimization is not used when the effect would be visible.

When we ship LLVM 16, <ranges> won't be considered experimental anymore.
We might as well do this sooner rather than later.

This adds a C++20-version of `reverse_iterator` which doesn't SFINAE away the operators for use inside the classic STL algorithms. Pre-C++20 `_AlgRevIter` is just an alias for `reverse_iterator`.
