C++11 has been the default for compilers targeted in this branch.
gtest requires c++14 since v1.13 (Jan 2023) and building the tests on newer systems fails.
If this is not endorsed by the authors, it's also possible to check for externally provided values for CXX_STANDARD before setting it, but it's much more convenient to simply drop it and keep the codebase compiling without special triggers on modern systems.
