2909. User specializations of is_execution_policy should be ill-formed

Addresses US 14

A user specialization of any is_execution_policy should produce an ill-formed program, not merely one whose behavior is unspecified. See also the related comment re [meta.type.synop] (20.15.2). (US 10)

Proposed change: Reword the paragraph as follows:

Unless otherwise specified, a program that adds specializations for is_execution_policy is ill-formed; no diagnostic required.
