- NVHPC's implementation of `__builtin_constant_p` has a bug which
results in calls to the immediately evaluated lambda expressions to be
reported as unevaluated lambdas.

- Hence, we disable CATCH_INTERNAL_IGNORE_BUT_WARN for NVHPC Compilers
This let's us avoid running `strlen` at runtime to convert the
plain string literals to `StringRef`s, by guaranteeing that we
instead have the size available after compilation.
In optimized builds the performance improvement should be even
greater, as the `StringRef` UDL and the related constructor
are both `constexpr`, and thus can be baked completely during
compilation.
Previously, string literals and `std::string`s would match the
template variant, which would serialize them into a stream and then
call the `StringRef` overload for resulting string. This caused
bunch of codebloat and unnecessary pessimization for common usage.
This introduces a potential lifetime risk when using the API, but
the intended way to use the `XmlEncode` class is to use it directly,
e.g. `out << XmlEncode(some-text-argument)`, not to store it around.
The benefit is that we avoid allocations for strings that do not fit
into SSO for given platform.
In some places the `std::flush` was not added, as it was sufficiently
obvious that the flush semantics are not intended. There are likely
other places where the flush semantics aren't intended, but that
is a cleanup for later.
More specifically, made the actual implementation of string-like
type handling take argument as `Catch::StringRef`, instead of
taking `std::string const&`.
This means that string-like types that are not `std::string` no
longer need to pay for an extra construction of `std::string`
(including the potential allocation), before they can be stringified.
The actual string stringification routine is now also better about
reserving sufficient space.
Apart from being clearer, it also improves the overall codesize
of the implementation library, and should improve the performance
as well, by removing one level of indirection.
Because new glibc has changed `MINSIGSTKSZ` to be a syscall instead
of being constant, the signal posix handling needed changes, as it
used the value in constexpr context, for deciding size of an array.
It would be simple to fix it by having the handler determine the
signal handling stack size and allocate the memory every time the
handler is being installed, but that would add another allocation
and a syscall every time a test case is entered.
Instead, I split apart the idea of preparing fatal error handlers,
and engaging them, so that the memory can be allocated only once
and still be guarded by RAII.
Also turns out that Catch2's use of `MINSIGSTKSZ` was wrong, and
we should've been using `SIGSTKSZ` the whole time, which we use now.
Closes#2178
* [Issue 2154] Correct error when building with IBM's latest XLC compiler with xlclang++ front-end.
On AIX, the XLC 16.1.0.1 compiler considers the call to `std::abs` ambigious, so it needs help with a static_cast to the type of the template argument.

Also generalized the implementations to write to the provided
output stream, which will be required for the follow up changes,
where the listings should happen to the location user asked for
by specifying the `-o` flag.
