To make this all work, I had to remove the stringification cache
from matchers. In theory, this can cause performance penalty in
cases where single matcher instance is stringified multiple times,
but in practice this does not happen much, and the difference is
surprisingly small anyway, because the performance of stringification
is already horrible and full of allocating strings just to throw
them away.

The matcher combinators need P2738 from C++26 to be `constexpr`.

Closes #3091

<title>Fix lifetime issues when using UNSCOPED_X message macros</title>
<updated>2025-12-26T14:53:30+00:00</updated>

<published>2025-12-26T14:31:20+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.progmasoft.com/catch3/commit/?id=eb3811c555eccd2de8b63ba16e0f62c444970acf'/>
<id>eb3811c555eccd2de8b63ba16e0f62c444970acf</id>
<content type='text'>
The original implementation of `UNSCOPED_X` message macros used a
clever hack to make the original implementation simpler: construct
an instance of `ScopedMessage` to manage its lifetime, but store
it in a vector, so its lifetime is not actually scope-based, and
we can manage it through the vector instance.

This hack made it so that the lifetime of the vector that manages
the fake `ScopedMessage`s must be outlived by the vector with the
actual messages. Originally this wasn't a problem, because they both
lived inside the run context instance. However, since then these
vectors became globals and thread-local. When this happened, it
still wasn't a problem; the two globals were declared in the right
order, so they were destroyed in the right order as well.

Then, in f80956a43a3e276686ed59531b41617282d75a0c, these globals
were turned into magic static globals to improve their behaviour
in MSVC's Debug build mode. This caused their lifetimes to be
runtime-dependent; if a specific test thread added its first scoped
message before it added first unscoped message, the lifetimes
would be correct. If it instead added first unscoped message
before adding first scoped message, then there **might** be
invalid reads during thread destruction.

The fix is simple: do things properly and manage the lifetime of
messages in `UNSCOPED_X` explicitly. Then we don't have to deal
with the destruction of fake `ScopedMessage`s while the thread is
being destroyed, and the lifetime of the two vectors is no longer
tied together.

I also threw them both into a new type, to encapsulate some of the
unscoped message logic.
