c++: Disable -Wdangling-reference when initing T&

Non-const lvalue references can't bind to a temporary, so the
warning should not be emitted if we're initializing something of that
type.  I'm not disabling the warning when the function itself returns
a non-const lvalue reference, that would regress at least

  const int &r = std::any_cast<int&>(std::any());

in Wdangling-reference2.C where the any_cast returns an int&.

Unfortunately, this patch means we'll stop diagnosing

  int& fn(int&& x) { return static_cast<int&>(x); }
  void test ()
  {
    int &r = fn(4);
  }

where there's a genuine dangling reference.  OTOH, the patch
should suppress false positives with iterators, like:

  auto &candidate = *candidates.begin ();

and arguably that's more important than detecting some relatively
obscure cases.  It's probably not worth it making the warning more
complicated by, for instance, not warning when a fn returns 'int&'
but takes 'const int&' (because then it can't return its argument).

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* call.cc (maybe_warn_dangling_reference): Don't warn when initializing
	a non-const lvalue reference.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/cpp23/elision4.C: Remove dg-warning.
	* g++.dg/warn/Wdangling-reference1.C: Turn dg-warning into dg-bogus.
	* g++.dg/warn/Wdangling-reference7.C: New test.
