New patch

This seems to work. It also handles the fortran example from comment #3. With a
comment before the new function and a testcase, it will be good to go to
gcc-patches.

Side note: at -O3, if I provide an inline version of operator new (see PR
59894), it handles std::vector<int>(n). However, I had to provide a simple one
(call malloc, if null throw). The one in libsupc++ is way too complicated (2
calls to malloc), and if I refactor it slightly so "malloc" only appears once,
I end up with the following. The edge probabilities are strange (malloc fails
in 95% of cases?), but mostly we have a PHI node with a single argument which
hides the fact that the variables are the same. It is far from the first time I
notice this, is there a real reason to keep those unary PHIs, or should we
optimize them more aggressively?

  p_24 = mallocD.1405 (sz_20);
  if (p_24 == 0B)
    goto <bb 7>;
  else
    goto <bb 11>;

  MEM[(struct _Vector_baseD.14156 *)p_2(D)]._M_implD.15030._M_startD.15032 =
p_41;

  memsetD.1000 (p_41, 0, sz_20);
