I think we need to add cxx11abi = yes if we don't support this with the
COW string.  Wouldn't adding COW string support amount to a few extra
lines in cow_string.h though?

IIUC since subview is specified as freestanding-deleted, we need to
define it as deleted if we don't support it in freestanding mode.
So perhaps why don't we just always define it in C++26 mode regardless
of whether the FTM is defined?  Maybe I'm not understanding the
intent of freestanding-deleted though.
