Switch valptridx error style dispatching from using macro pasting to
using C++11 user-defined literals. This makes the code a bit easier to
read, and removes the need for a C99-conforming preprocessor here, which
should help anyone trying to port to Microsoft Visual Studio.
The new implementation also fixes a limitation of the previous
implementation. Before, an override that referenced an invalid name
could be silently ignored. Now, incorrect overrides cause an attempt to
use an undefined instantiation, which fails with a compilation error.
For correctness, valptridx::ptridx instances must not be sliced down to
their component ::ptr or ::idx base classes. Previously, this was done
with a dummy template parameter to ensure that a bare ::idx had a
different type than the idx base of a ::ptridx. This extra distinction
complicates analysis of the code, and is not needed when the code is
already correct. Add the ability to build without slice checking.

The declaration of valptridx_specialized_types needed to be found by
Argument Dependent Lookup, but this was inconvenient for some types.
Split the declaration of valptridx_specialized_types out from the
definition of valptridx global subtype.
