[strings] Use "Equivalent to" where appropriate

From an email by Jeffrey Yasskin:

Many functions in the strings clause use formulations like:

[string.cons]/15:

Effects: Same as basic_string(il.begin(), il.end(), a).

[string.capacity]/15:

Effects: Behaves as if the function calls:
erase(begin(), end());

[string::insert]/27:

Effects: insert(p, il.begin(), il.end()).
Returns: [what the above insert() call returns]

instead of the "Equivalent to" wording defined in
[structure.specifications]/4. These should all be changed to
"Equivalent to" for consistency and conciseness.

This needs to be opened as an LWG issue. I've asked for an issue to be opened for this throughout the spec, but I don't know it's number yet.

LWG 2679, but that doesn't cover the places mentioned above.

I've asked for another LWG issue, explicitly listing the places that need fixing.

LWG 2841
