switch C++ support to C++17

As contribs keep being updated with newer versions of the language, we need to
support a more modern version of C++ going forward.

Setting -std=c++17 should not break existing contribs that are built with C++11 or C++14.
In fact we already support the mix of versions between 11 and 14 without problem.
Modern C++ compilers are designed to take care of this [1].
When switching to a new C++ version there might however be some slight differences on how the
code is interpreted. These differences [2] might trigger some build errors for removed parts.

+# 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', '14', '17', or '20' for
+#   the respective C++ standard version.
+#
+#   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.

-# SYNOPSIS

-#   AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_14([ext|noext],[mandatory|optional])
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++14
-#   standard; if necessary, add switches to CXXFLAGS to enable support.
-#
-#   The first argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
-#   extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++14) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
-#   -std=c++14).  If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
-#   preference for an extended mode.
-#
-#   The second argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
-#   indicates that baseline C++14 support 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_CXX14 if and only if a supporting mode is found.
