1948. exception-specification of replacement global new

Some implementations accept code like

  #include <cstddef> // to get size_t
  void* operator new(std::size_t) noexcept { ... }

This declaration conflicts with the predeclaration of operator new with no exception-specification.

See also issue 967.

Rationale (November, 2014):

The specification intentionally makes such replacement functions ill-formed.
