    libstdc++: Fix regression in std::stable_sort
    
    The recent change to split out the cold path of std::stable_sort caused
    a regression for some Qt code. The problem is that the library now adds
    a value of type ptrdiff_t to the iterator, which is ambiguous with
    -pedantic. The addition could either convert the iterator to a built-in
    pointer and add the ptrdiff_t to that, or it could convert the ptrdiff_t
    to the iterator's difference_type and use the iterator's own operator+.
    
    The fix is to cast the ptrdiff_t value to the difference type first.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/stl_algo.h (__stable_sort): Cast size to
            iterator's difference type.
            * testsuite/25_algorithms/stable_sort/4.cc: New test.
