[Bug libstdc++/16396] ostream << volatile char* converts to ostream << bool

The explanation is actually rather straightforward: roughly, missing a perfect
match, a match with minor adjustments and a match with promotion, a match with
standard conversions is looked for: there is a standard conversion from pointer
to bool, *not* to other integral types.

For more details, see Vendevoorde/Josuttis appendix B and the standard, sec 4.
