bootstrap: Update requirement to C++11.

Browse Source 
There was general agreement last November that we would move to allowing
C++11 features to be used in GCC 11; this patch implements that direction.

ChangeLog
2020-05-18  Jason Merrill  <jason@redhat.com>

	* configure.ac: Update bootstrap dialect to -std=c++11.

	* ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: Import from autoconf archive with
	an adjustment to try the default mode.

gcc/ChangeLog
2020-05-18  Jason Merrill  <jason@redhat.com>

	* aclocal.m4: Add ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4.
	* configure.ac: Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX(11).

# ===========================================================================

# ===========================================================================
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX(VERSION, [ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the specified
# version of the C++ standard. If necessary, add switches to CXX and
# CXXCPP to enable support. VERSION may be '11' (for the C++11 standard)
# or '14' (for the C++14 standard).
#
# The second argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
# extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
# -std=c++11). If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
# preference for no added switch, and then for an extended mode.
#
# The third argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
# indicates that baseline support for the specified C++ standard is
# required and that the macro should error out if no mode with that
# support is found. If specified 'optional', then configuration proceeds
# regardless, after defining HAVE_CXX${VERSION} if and only if a
# supporting mode is found.

@item ISO C++98 compiler
Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior
to 4.8 also allow bootstrapping with a ISO C89 compiler and versions
of GCC prior to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional
(K&R) C compiler.
@item ISO C++11 compiler
Necessary to bootstrap GCC.
Versions of GCC prior to 11 also allow bootstrapping with an ISO C++98
compiler, versions of GCC prior to 4.8 also allow bootstrapping with a
ISO C89 compiler, and versions of GCC prior to 3.4 also allow
bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler.
To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where
3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing
GCC binary (version 3.4 or later) because source code for language
GCC binary (version 4.8 or later) because source code for language
frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.

Note that to bootstrap GCC with versions of GCC earlier than 4.8, you
may need to use @option{--disable-stage1-checking}, though
bootstrapping the compiler with such earlier compilers is strongly
discouraged.
