Here, -Wdangling-reference triggers where it probably shouldn't, causing
some grief. The code in question uses a reference wrapper with a member
function returning a reference to a subobject of a non-temporary object:
const Plane & meta = fm.planes().inner();
I've tried a few approaches, e.g., checking that the member function's
return type is the same as the type of the enclosing class (which is
the case for member functions returning *this), but that then breaks
Wdangling-reference4.C with std::optional<std::string>.
So I figured that perhaps we want to look at the object we're invoking
the member function(s) on and see if that is a temporary, as in, don't
warn about
const Plane & meta = fm.planes().inner();
but do warn about
const Plane & meta = FrameMetadata().planes().inner();
It's ugly, but better than asking users to add #pragmas into their code.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* call.cc (do_warn_dangling_reference): Don't warn when the
object member functions are invoked on is not a temporary.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* g++.dg/warn/Wdangling-reference8.C: New test.
