    c++: fold calls to std::move/forward [PR96780]

    A well-formed call to std::move/forward is equivalent to a cast, but the
    former being a function call means the compiler generates debug info,
    which persists even after the call gets inlined, for an operation that's
    never interesting to debug.

    This patch addresses this problem by folding calls to std::move/forward
    and other cast-like functions into simple casts as part of the frontend's
    general expression folding routine.  This behavior is controlled by a
    new flag -ffold-simple-inlines, and otherwise by -fno-inline, so that
    users can enable this folding with -O0 (which implies -fno-inline).

    After this patch with -O2 and a non-checking compiler, debug info size
    for some testcases from range-v3 and cmcstl2 decreases by as much as ~10%
    and overall compile time and memory usage decreases by ~2%.
