2323. Expunge POD

[Adopted at the October, 2017 meeting as paper P0767R1.]

The term POD no longer serves a purpose in the standard, it is merely defined, and restrictions apply for when a few other types preserve this vestigial property. The is_pod trait should be deprecated, moving the definition of a POD type alongside the trait in Annex Clause Annex D [depr], and any remaining wording referring to POD should be struck, or revised to clearly state intent (usually triviality) without mentioning PODs.
