std::string_view and std::array iterators don't have to be raw pointers, and in fact other implementations don't represent them as raw pointers. Them being raw pointers in libc++ makes it easier for users to write non-portable code. This is bad in itself, but this is even worse when considering efforts like hardening where we want an easy ability to swap for a different iterator type. If users depend on iterators being raw pointers, this becomes a build break. Hence, this patch enables the use of __wrap_iter in the unstable ABI, creating a long term path towards making this the default. This patch may break code that assumes these iterators are raw pointers for people compiling with the unstable ABI. This patch also removes several assumptions that array iterators are raw pointers in the code base and in the test suite.
