[libc++][format] Improves diagnostics.

[Mordante]

Summary

Improves both the compile-time and run-time errors.
At compile-time it does a bit more work to get more specific errors.
This could be done at run-time too, but that has a performance penalty.
Since it's expected most use-cases use format* instead of vformat* the
compile-time errors are more common.

For example when using

std::format_to("{:-c}", 42);

Before compile output would contain

std::__throw_format_error("The format-spec should consume the input or end with a '}'");

Now it contains

std::__throw_format_error("The format specifier does not allow the sign option");

Given a better indication the sign option is not allowed. Note the
output is still not user-friendly; C++ doesn't have good facilities to
generate nice messages from the library.

In general all messages have been reviewed and improved, using a more
consistent style and using less terms used in the standard. For example

format-spec -> format specifier
arg-id -> argument index

Could you split this patch into a patch that changes the error messages (e.g. reformulation, capitalization, etc), another one that adds additional parsing logic to improve the error messages and one that changes the bracket handling? I feel like there's more than one orthogonal things in this patch, especially since part of it requires an ABI change that goes mostly unnoticed otherwise.

Can you use braces consistently after the else? Otherwise it becomes really hard to distinguish what is in the else given the nesting.
