…erywhere **except when libc++ is in use** (pybind#4319)

* Try using `std::hash<std::type_index>`, `std::equal_to<std::type_index>` everywhere.

From PR pybind#4316 we know that types in the unnamed namespace in different translation units do not compare equal, as desired.

But do types in named namespaces compare equal, as desired?

* Revert "Try using `std::hash<std::type_index>`, `std::equal_to<std::type_index>` everywhere."

This reverts commit a06949a.

* Use "our own name-based hash and equality functions" for `std::type_index` only under macOS, based on results shown under pybind#4316 (comment)

* Patch in PR pybind#4313: Minimal reproducer for clash when binding types defined in the unnamed namespace.

* test_unnamed_namespace_b xfail for clang

* `PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION 5`

* Add a note to docs/classes.rst

* For compatibility with Google-internal testing, test_unnamed_namespace_a & test_unnamed_namespace_b need to work when imported in any order.

* Trying "__GLIBCXX__ or Windows", based on observations from Google-internal testing.

* Try _LIBCPP_VERSION

* Account for libc++ behavior in tests and documentation.

* Adjust expectations for Windows Clang (and make code less redundant).

* Add WindowsClang to ci.yml

Added block transferred from PR pybind#4321

* Add clang-latest to name that appears in the GitHub Actions web view.

* Tweak the note in classes.rst again.

* Add `pip install --upgrade pip`, Show env, cosmetic changes

Already tested under PR pybind#4321

* Add macos_brew_install_llvm to ci.yml

Added block transferred from PR pybind#4324

* `test_cross_module_exception_translator` xfail 'Homebrew Clang'

* Revert back to base version of .github/workflows/ci.yml (the ci.yml changes were merged under pybind#4323 and pybind#4326)

* Fixes for ruff

* Make updated condition in internals.h dependent on ABI version.

* Remove PYBIND11_TEST_OVERRIDE when testing with PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION=10000000

* Selectively exercise cmake `-DPYBIND11_TEST_OVERRIDE`: ubuntu, macos, windows

Extra work added to quick jobs, based on timings below, to not increase the GHA start-to-last-job-finished time.
