This patch implements semantics for constrained friend templates and classes. The only significant changes are in determine_specializaiton and check_constrained_friend.
Unless a friend function is defined, a constraints on friend
declarations are never actually checked. The checking happens during
overload resolution against the actual (non-friend) declarations.
The change to determine_specialization is interesting. We have cases
where a programmer has written an explicit specialization and it's
being matched to a template. Previously, if constraints were not
satisfied, we would not record the template as a candidate. However,
this causes errors in class template instantiation if there are
constrained friend declarations whose constraints are not satisfied
("no matching template declaration").
With this patch, we defer constraints checks until we've selected the
best template for the specialization. And then we only check the
constraints if the declaration is a non-friend.

* gcc/cp/cp-tree.h (check_constrained_friend): New.
* gcc/cp/pt.c (determine_specialization): Only check constraints
after determining which template the declaraiton is a specialization
of. Don't check constraints for friends during class template
instantiation.
(fn_type_unification): New parameter to determine if constraints
should be checked.
(more_specialized_class): Update for interface change.
(get_bindings): New parameter to determine if constraints should
be checked during fn_type_unification. New overload that checks
constraints by default.
* gcc/cp/parser.c (cp_parser_member_declaration): Check constrained
friends after parsing.
* gcc/cp/class.c (resolve_address_of_overloaded_function): Update
for interface change.
* gcc/cp/call.c (is_non_template_friend): New.
(add_function_candidate): Check constraints on constrained friend
templates.
(add_template_candidate_real): Update for interface change.
* gcc/cp/constraint.c (check_constrained_friend): New.
