Removing Digraphs

Latest is R1R0

Digraphs are a complicated solution to a very old problem, which cause more problems than they solve in a modern environment. Digraphs also severely limit the design space of C++, although as we have seen with [[P2996]](https://www%2eopen-std%2eorg/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2025/p2996r13%2ehtml) we are already fine with special-casing our way out of this pickle.
