Addresses GB-142

auto_ptr does not appear in the <memory> synopsis and [depr.auto.ptr] doesn't say which header declares it. Conversely, the deprecated binders bind1st etc. are in the <functional> synopsis, this is inconsistent

Either auto_ptr should be declared in the <memory> synopsis, or the deprecated binders should be removed from the <functional> synopsis and appendix D should say which header declares the binders and auto_ptr.

Moved to Tentatively Ready after 5 positive votes on c++std-lib.

Proposed resolution:

Add the following lines to the synopsis of header <memory> in [memory]/1:

// [depr.auto.ptr], Class auto_ptr (deprecated):
template <class X> class auto_ptr;
