Note that this patch contains also a cleanup of a useless template
parameter _Is_pod_comparator on _Rb_tree_impl.
The useless parameter is a remnant of an attempt at exploiting the EBO
for _Rb_tree_impl. At some point Benjamin got a patch from a
contributor but then had to quickly revert it just in time for the ABI
freeze because it didn't work. Evrything is recorded in the mailing
list. Anyway, whatever we do now (more exactly, post 4.9) let's make
sure we don't break the ABI inadvertently, or, if we actually decide
do that, we should reconsider the EBO.

* include/bits/stl_tree.h: Introduced a new class _Rb_tree_impl, ...
has the original EBO idea, which in fact we didn't deliver.
