[c++] Use C++20 - Githubissues

Context:

Core libtiledb is already built using C++20 as of 2023: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB/pull/4034
We would like to also build libtiledbsoma using C++20
- General currency with the community
- Currency with core
- Access to newer language features

I was able to repro this on my Mac. Using latest RcppSpdlog which as of this writing is 0.0.18.

I also tried:

Git-pull latest https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt and check out latest tag 11.0.2
Git-pull latest https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppspdlog
- Copy the 11.0.2 fmt headers into local rcppspdlog's inst/include/spdlog/fmt/bundled
- Do a local R install
- Problem remains

This suggests that we will have a genuine bug report on RcppSpdlog.
