Deleted virtual functions

I think the ABI should specify what should happen with deleted virtual
functions:
struct B {
virtual void f() = delete;
};
struct D: B {
virtual void f() = delete;
};
Our preference would be for such functions to take up a slot in the
virtual function table, and have that slot point to a new aborting ABI
function __cxx_deleted_virtual (much like __cxa_pure_virtual). This
approach allows changing a virtual function from deleted to non-
deleted without breaking the vtable layout.
