[Bug libstdc++/42261] infinite recursion from string(string::size_type(6), string::size_type('f'))

I looked again at the original DR 438, and in fact I think DR 1234 is
unrelated. DR 438 is entirely about explicit vs implicit conversions: I think
now that we have a problem specific to string because, at variance with the
containers, we don't have an internal non-overloaded helper function to which
we can pass the arguments as required in the WP, thus only the first one
explicitly casted.
