Vincent Ambo 082c006c04 merge(3p/absl): subtree merge of Abseil up to e19260f
... notably, this includes Abseil's own StatusOr type, which
conflicted with our implementation (that was taken from TensorFlow).

// Because an actual Abseil flag is of an unspecified type, you should not
// manipulate or interact directly with objects of that type. Instead, use the

// This type acts as a type-erased handle for an instance of an Abseil Flag and

// access a flag's name, location, help string etc.
//
// To obtain an absl::CommandLineFlag, invoke `absl::FindCommandLineFlag()`
// passing it the flag name string.
//
// Example:
//
// // Obtain reflection handle for a flag named "flagname".
// const absl::CommandLineFlag* my_flag_data =
// absl::FindCommandLineFlag("flagname");
//
// // Now you can get flag info from that reflection handle.
// std::string flag_location = my_flag_data->Filename();

// We are wrapping a union around the value of `T` to serve three purposes:

// 1. `U.value` has correct size and alignment for a value of type `T`
// 2. The `U.value` constructor is not invoked since U's constructor does
// not do it explicitly.
// 3. The `U.value` destructor is invoked since U's destructor does it
// explicitly. This makes `U` a kind of RAII wrapper around non default
// constructible value of T, which is destructed when we leave the
// scope. We do need to destroy U.value, which is constructed by
// CommandLineFlag::Read even though we left it in a moved-from state
// after std::move.

// All of this serves to avoid requiring `T` being default constructible.
