3738. Missing preconditions for take_view constructor

Discussion:

When V does not model sized_range, take_view::begin returns counted_iterator(ranges::begin(base_), count_). Since the counted_iterator constructor (24.5.7.2 [counted.iter.const]) already has a precondition that n >= 0, we should add this to take_view as well, which is consistent with drop_view.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4910.

1. Modify 25.7.10.2 [range.take.view] as indicated:

   constexpr take_view(V base, range_difference_t<V> count);
   

   -?- Preconditions: count >= 0 is true.

   -1- Effects: Initializes base_ with std::move(base) and count_ with count.
