gcc 6.2 was not accepting the current definition of void_t

Summary:
The current definition of void_t was leading to errors because unused
template parameters are ignored and SFINAE SFIAEs

+ * There is a bug in gcc that causes it to ignore unused template parameter
+ * arguments in template aliases and does not cause substitution failures.
+ * This defect has been recorded here:
+ * http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/cwg_defects.html#1558.
+ *
+ * This causes the implementation of std::void_t to be buggy, as it is likely
+ * defined as something like the following:
+ *
+ *  template <typename...>
+ *  using void_t = void;
+ *
+ * This causes the compiler to ignore all the template arguments and does not
+ * help when one wants to cause substitution failures.  Rather declarations
+ * which have void_t in orthogonal specializations are treated as the same.
+ * For example, assuming the possible `T` types are only allowed to have
+ * either the alias `one` or `two` and never both or none:
+ *
+ *  template <typename T,
+ *            typename std::void_t<std::decay_t<T>::one>* = nullptr>
+ *  void foo(T&&) {}
+ *  template <typename T,
+ *            typename std::void_t<std::decay_t<T>::two>* = nullptr>
+ *  void foo(T&&) {}
+ *
+ * The second foo() will be a redefinition because it conflicts with the first
+ * one; void_t does not cause substitution failures - the template types are
+ * just ignored.
+ *
+ * Till then only the non-buggy MSVC std::void_t can be used, and for the rest
+ * folly::void_t will continue to be used because it does not use unnamed
+ * template parameters for the top level implementation of void_t.
