[PATCH] libsdc++: Restore check for validity of std::get for elements_view.

Resolves LWG3797, "elements_view insufficiently constrained".

When P2165R4 updated __has_tuple_element in C++23 to reuse __tuple_like
concept, it dropped the requirement of validity of get, assuming that for
tuple_like type with size of N, get<I> on lvalue is well-formed for any I < N.
This however does not hold for ranges::subrange (tuple-like of size 2) with
move-only iterator, for which get can only be applied on rvalue. In consequence
constrains allowed instantiating elements_view for range of such subrange,
but instantiating it's iterator lead to hard error from iterator_category
computation.

This patch applies the requirements on validity of get in all standard
modes.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/std/ranges (__detail::__has_tuple_element): Check
	if std::get<_Nm>(__t) returns referenceable type also for C++23
	and later.
	* testsuite/std/ranges/adaptors/elements.cc: Add test covering
	vector of ranges::subrange with move-only iterator.
---
I initially tought that we should backport it, but the only impact of
the issues is you cannot rely on constraint check on views::elements
of such range. Any use of such elements_views remain ill-formed in
all modes.

Testing on x86-64_linux. All *elements* test passed in all standard
modes. OK for trunk when all test passes?
