[PATCH] c++: Change the default dialect to C++17.

Since GCC 9, C++17 support is no longer experimental.  It was too late
to change the default C++ dialect to C++17 in GCC 10, but I think now
it's time to pull the trigger (C++14 was made the default in GCC 6.1).
We're still missing two C++17 library features, but that shouldn't stop
us.  See
<https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/status.html#status.iso.2017>
and
<https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx17>
for the C++17 status.

I won't list all C++17 features here, but just a few heads-up:

- trigraphs were removed (hardly anyone cares, unless your keyboard is
  missing the # key),
- operator++(bool) was removed (so some tests now run in C++14 and down
  only),
- the keyword register was removed (some legacy code might trip on
  this),
- noexcept specification is now part of the type system and C++17 does
  not allow dynamic exception specifications anymore (the empty throw
  specification is still available, but it is deprecated),
- the evaluation order rules are different in C++17,
- static constexpr data members are now implicitly inline (which makes
  them definitions),
- C++17 requires guaranteed copy elision, meaning that a copy/move
  constructor call might be elided completely.  That means that if
  something relied on a constructor being instantiated via e.g. copying
  a function parameter, it might now fail.

Jakub, the last point is actually what I encountered in for-27.C and it
looks like an OpenMP issue, in that it wrongly depends on an implicit
instantiation.  Am I mistaken?

Due to the 'register' removal, this patch depends on the regenerated
cfns.h version I posted earlier today.

I'll post an update for cxx-status.html and add a new caveat to changes.html
once this is in.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu,
and powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu.  Ok for trunk?

	* doc/invoke.texi (C Dialect Options): Adjust -std default for C++.
	* doc/standards.texi (C Language): Correct the default dialect.
	(C++ Language): Update the default for C++ to gnu++17.

	* c-opts.c (c_common_init_options): Default to gnu++17.

	* c-c++-common/torture/vector-subscript-3.c: Remove the register
	keywords.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/attributes-enum-1a.C: Update for C++17.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/fold7a.C: Likewise.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/nontype3a.C: Likewise.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/utf8-2a.C: Likewise.
	* g++.dg/parse/error11.C: Use c++14_down.
	* g++.dg/torture/pr34850.C: Add -Wno-attribute-warning.
	* g++.dg/torture/pr49394.C: Add dg-warning.
	* g++.dg/torture/pr82154.C: Use -std=c++14.
	* g++.dg/ubsan/pr85029.C: Use -Wno-register.
	* g++.dg/ubsan/vptr-12.C: Use -fstrong-eval-order=some.
	* lib/target-supports.exp: Set to C++17.
	* obj-c++.dg/try-catch-9.mm: Use -Wno-register.

	* testsuite/libgomp.c++/atomic-3.C: Use -std=gnu++14.
	* testsuite/libgomp.c++/for-27.C: Explicitly instantiate the
	copy constructor for I<int>.
