init cpp

cmake boilerplate for a C++ project. Originally a fork of cpp starter project.

NOTE 1: This project is meant specifically for C++, it will likely take a lot of work to adapt it for use with C (or any other language).

NOTE 2: The minimum required standard is C++17 (default since GCC 11 and Clang 16).
