LWG-4293 span::subspan/first/last chooses wrong constructor when T is const-qualified bool

This LWG issue resolution (accepted at the 2025-11 meeting) has no functional effect after WG21-P2447R6 "Constructing span<const T> From initializer_list<T>" was reverted by WG21-P4144R1 "Remove span's initializer_list Constructor" at the 2026-03 meeting (see #4173).

However, we have a general principle of "Do What The Standard Says", which should be worth following here.
