Detect if flags are needed for C++11 support

Just like we only support compiling with C11, we only support
compiling extensions with C++11 and up.  Some compilers support C++11
but don't enable it by default.  This detects if flags are needed to
enable C++11 support, in a similar way to how we check the same for
C11 support.

The C++ test extension module added by commit 476b35d4e3 confirmed
that C++11 is effectively required.  (This was understood in mailing
list discussions but not recorded anywhere in the source code.)
