[committed 3/3] libstdc++: Tweak Doxygen comments for experimental simd

I noticed that Doxygen was not documenting the contents of
<experimental/simd> as part of namespace std, because it didn't know
about the _GLIBCXX_SIMD_BEGIN_NAMESPACE and _GLIBCXX_SIMD_END_NAMESPACE
macros which open and close namespace std::experimental::parallelism_v2.

After defining those macros in the Doxygen config, the Doxygen comments
in experimental/bits/simd.h were causing namespace std to be documented
as part of the Parallelism TS v2. That's because the preprocessed code
looks like:

/** @ingroup ts_simd
 * @{
 */
namespace std::experimental::inline parallelism_v2 {

This causes Doxygen to apply the @ingroup command to all three of
namespace std, namespace std::experimental, and namespace
std::experimental::parallelism_v2. I don't know if this is the intended
behaviour, but it doesn't seem useful so I've opened an issue about it:
https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues/12114

To workaround this, we can move the _GLIBCXX_SIMD_BEGIN_NAMESPACE macro
before the @{ group and document it separately with a @namespace
comment. That makes the @ingroup only apply to the namespace named by
the @namespace command, not to its enclosing namespaces as well. Moving
the position of the BEGIN macro also fixes the nesting, as previously we
had @{ then BEGIN then @} then END. Now we have BEGIN @{ @} END which
seems preferable.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* doc/doxygen/user.cfg.in (PREDEFINED): Add BEGIN/END macros for
	the <experimental/simd> namespace.
	* include/experimental/bits/simd.h: Move BEGIN macro before
	Doxygen @{ group.

Tested x86_64-linux. Pushed to trunk.
