Stephen Kelly 3fdfa5d3fc Features: Make CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES a property.
As a 'built-in' variable it imposes a cost on all variable lookups
and it is expected to be rarely used.

Stephen Kelly faeddf64f2 project: Add infrastructure for recording CXX compiler features
Add a feature test using the compiler macros and the preprocessor to
determine available features.

Add a CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_FEATURES variable which contains all features
known to the loaded compiler, and a CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES variable
containing all features known to CMake.  Add language standard specific
variables for internal use to determine the standard-specific compile
flags to use.

This will be extended to other languages in the future.  Follow-up
commits will add features which will be recorded by the feature test.
