These two are XFAIL tests, they're checking for a required static
assert due to misusing std::forward, so I don't think we want to
change them to remove a "bug" (they're meant to be buggy).
I think they should use -Wno-dangling-reference

I've attached a patch for the two any_cast.cc tests that avoids
creating dangling references, without changing the intended behaviour
of the tests.
