libstdc++: Improve Doxygen comments for <iterator> contents

Use markdown and suppress unwanted docs for internal helpers.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/stl_iterator.h: Prevent Doxygen from documenting
	namespace __detail as part of the Iterators topic.
	* include/bits/stl_iterator_base_funcs.h: Likewise. Also mark
	internal helpers as undocumented.
	(distance, advance): Improve Doxygen comments.
	* include/bits/stl_iterator_base_types.h (iterator): Use
	markdown in Doxygen comment. Add @deprecated.
	(iterator_traits): Improve wording of Doxygen comment.
