folly::_t and use it in folly::exception_wrapper

Summary:
[Folly] `folly::_t` and use it in `folly::exception_wrapper`.

Intended in part for use in Folly code, but can be used outside.

Instead of:

```lang=c++
namespace folly {
using original = //...
using decayed = typename std::decay<original>::type;
}
```

In C++14:

```lang=c++
namespace folly {
using original = //...
using decayed = std::decay_t<original>;
}
```

And in C++11:

```lang=c++
namespace folly {
using original = //...
using decayed = _t<std::decay<original>>:
}
```

Not perfect, but better.
