Description
While reviewing <mdspan> for MSVC STL, @StephanTLavavej noticed that the layout_stride::mapping constructor is noexcept for layout_right::mapping, but not for layout_left::mapping. It appears this happened in #181. They both have similar preconditions, so we're not sure if there's a reason for it that's escaped us, or if it was a typo.

Research direction
Compare the layout_stride::mapping constructors for layout_left::mapping and layout_right::mapping, then review the change introduced in #181. Determine whether the differing noexcept specification is intentional; done means either confirming the rationale or aligning the constructors if it was a typo.
