Addresses US 14

A user specialization of any `is_execution_policy` should produce an ill-formed program, not merely one whose behavior is unspecified. See also the related comment re [meta.type.synop] (20.15.2). (US 10)

Proposed change: Reword the paragraph as follows:

> Unless otherwise specified, a program that adds specializations for `is_execution_policy` is ill-formed; no diagnostic required.
