Gerald Squelart 2d21b03a3b Bug 1482046 - mfbt: FunctionTypeTraits - r=froydnj
FunctionTypeTraits< function type > makes it easier to inspect a function's
return type, arity, and parameter types.
It works with free functions, struct/class methods, function objects like
non-generic lambdas and std::function.

// Main FunctionTypeTraits declaration, taking one template argument.
//
// Given a function type, FunctionTypeTraits will expose the following members:
// - ReturnType: Return type.
// - arity: Number of parameters (size_t).
// - ParameterType<N>: Type of the Nth** parameter, 0-indexed.
//
// ** `ParameterType<N>` with `N` >= `arity` is allowed and gives `void`.
// This prevents compilation errors when trying to access a type outside of the
// function's parameters, which is useful for parameters checks, e.g.:
// template<typename F>
// auto foo(F&&)
// -> enable_if(FunctionTypeTraits<F>::arity == 1 &&
// is_same<FunctionTypeTraits<F>::template ParameterType<0>,
// int>::value,
// void)
// {
// // This function will only be enabled if `F` takes one `int`.
// // Without the permissive ParameterType<any N>, it wouldn't even compile.
//
// Note: FunctionTypeTraits does not work with generic lambdas `[](auto&) {}`,
// because parameter types cannot be known until an actual invocation when types
// are inferred from the given arguments.
