2981. Remove redundant deduction guides from standard library

Section: 22.10.6 [refwrap], 33.6.5.2 [thread.lock.guard], 33.6.5.3 [thread.lock.scoped], 33.6.5.4 [thread.lock.unique], 33.6.5.5 [thread.lock.shared] Status: C++20 Submitter: Mike Spertus Opened: 2017-06-15 Last modified: 2021-02-25

Discussion:

There are several deduction guides added to the standard library by P0433R2 that have no effect probably because LWG had not considered late changes to core wording that automatically adds a "copy deduction candidate" (12.2.2.9 [over.match.class.deduct]) that renders these explicit guides moot.
