Use correct __cplusplus value with MSVC

...now that /Zc:__cplusplus is available in Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7
(see <https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2018/04/09/
msvc-now-correctly-reports-__cplusplus/>).

Some external projects might run into issues when picking up /Zc:__cplusplus
directly with $(CXXFLAGS_CXX11) or indirectly via $(gb_CXXFLAGS) now, but that
appears not to be the case.

Some obsolete MSVC-specific __cplusplus checks can be removed now.  (The ones in
external/libebook/libebook-msvc.patch.1 pick up /Zc:__cplusplus via
$(gb_CXXFLAGS) in external/libebook/ExternalProject_libebook.mk.)

-Subject: [PATCH] m4: MSVC defines __cplusplus as 199711L still
-
-See e.g.
-<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37503029/cplusplus-is-equal-to-199711-in-msvc-does-it-support-c11>,
-on MSVC we can't depend on the value of __cplusplus, since that one is a
-too low value, even if everything else works fine.
