[patch] Fix dangling pointer in future_error::what()


This bug didn't show up with COW strings, but is a real problem with
the new std::string. The fix is to call error_code::message() early
and store the result in the logic_error base class during
construction.

Tested x86_64-linux, committed to trunk.

    	* include/std/future (future_error(error_code)): Construct base
    	class with error_code's message.
    	* src/c++11/future.cc (future_error::what()): Do not call c_str() on
    	temporary string.
