At https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2016-08/msg00123.html I suggested
changing the non-standard return type of vector::data() in C++98 mode.
Nobody objected, so I'm making that change.
This removes a silent ABI incompatibility betwen C++98 mode and later
modes, for std::vector<T, A>::data() where A::pointer is not T*.
For most uses (where A is std::allocator, or A::pointer is T*) it
makes no difference.
* include/bits/stl_vector.h (vector::_M_data_ptr, vector::data):
Change return type of non-standard C++98 extension to match C++11.
Tested powerpc64le-linux, with -std=gnu++98 too, committed to trunk.
