Addresses: fund.ts.v2

3.3.3 [fund.ts.v2::meta.logical]/2 and /5 impose the following requirement on the arguments of conjunction and disjunction:

Every template type argument shall be usable as a base class and shall have a static data member value which is convertible to bool, is not hidden, and is unambiguously available in the type.

Since the requirement is unconditional, it applies even to type arguments whose instantiation is not required due to short circuiting. This seems contrary to the design intent, expressed in P0013R1, that it is valid to write conjunction_v<is_class<T>, is_foo<T>> even if instantiating is_foo<T>::value is ill-formed for non-class types.
