FTR: These files are already in GCC (under gcc/rust/util), I'm merely
moving them around.

Hmm, maybe we should ask the author (Sy Brand) about patent guarantees,
then.

Arthur, do you have any more details?

Worst-case, as an alternative, I reckon it's possible to reuse the
libstdc++ implementation of <optional> and <expected> (I expect that
this change would have very little, or no, impact, as Sy's
implementation is compatible with the standard one, though they did opt
to provide a few extensions that we may or may not be using).

We'd need to work out the details wrt. how to best reuse libstdc++ code
in gcc/, but that shouldn't be too hard.

(FWIW I suggested doing so when these implementations of optional and
 expected were initially added, but I do not recall why we chose not to
 go that route back then)
