Subject: [PATCH v11 3/3] Enable test_cplusplusext with MSVC

The test_cplusplusext test module has so far been disabled on MSVC.
The only remaining problem now is that designated initializers, as
used in PG_MODULE_MAGIC, require C++20.  (With GCC and Clang they work
in older C++ versions as well.)

This adds another test in the top-level meson.build to check that the
compiler is in C++20 mode.  This is not required, we are just checking
and recording the answer.  If yes and we are using MSVC, we can enable
the test module.  (With other compilers it's already always enabled
and stays that way.)

Most current compilers likely won't be in C++20 mode by default.  This
doesn't change that; we are not doing anything to try to switch the
compiler into that mode.  This might be a separate project, but for
now we'll leave that for the user or the test scaffolding.

The VS task on Cirrus CI is changed to provide the required flag to
turn on C++20 mode.
