Fixes #6239
LWG-4293 changes the Effects of
span::first/last/subspantodirect-initialize the returned span (
(ptr, count)) instead of brace-initializing,so an
initializer_listconstructor can never hijack these calls.Since P2447R6 was reverted and MSVC STL never implemented it anyway, this has
zero functional impact — just a wording-sync per "Do What The Standard Says".
