whispers e6e7dc5e32 protobufc: unpin standard version to fix build with gcc 16 ...

protobufc pins a specific version of the C++ standard and does so using
an ancient vendored macro from the autoconf archive. this causes a
failure to build on gcc 16, as it defaults to C++20 and protobufc uses
C++17. this particularly causes problems with abseil, which has headers
which depend on the C++ standard to compile. accordingly, to avoid
having to manually specify and update a version each time the default
standard version updates, we unpin it completely and allow the compiler
to choose what it uses by default.

alternatively, we could override the abseil that ends up in protobufc
by way of protobuf_33 to use the C++17 standard instead. this would
work, but this seems more fragile and subject to compiler version churn.
it is also our understanding that mixing and matching versions of
standards in dependents can be messy, and using the default seems the
least likely to cause problems.
