Commit 7235334a (Project: Determine default language dialect for the
compiler., 2015-09-15) introduced a mechanism to determine the default
dialect used for the running compiler. If conditions in
the <CompilerId>-<Lang>.cmake file are such that compile features for
that version of the compiler should be supported, the _DEFAULT_STANDARD
is set to the computed value.
However, the CMakeForceCompiler module allows users to bypass execution of the
compiler by CMake. In that case, do not set the _DEFAULT_STANDARD variable at
all, which effectively disables the compile-features where the module is used.
No compile features have ever been recorded where the module is used so no
functionality is lost.
GNU-CXX already has complex logic and sets the _result to 0 before
tests which may set it to something else.
Change the other modules to be consistent with that.
Clang 3.4 uses C99 by default, and Clang 3.6 uses C11 by default:

GNU 4.9 uses C90 by default, and GNU 5.0 uses C11 by default:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html
Test that the default compiler settings result in the expected dialect
macros being defined for both C and CXX. Remove the unused main.c
file from the CompileFeatures unit test.
While Clang presents an almost identical interface to GNU there will be
some differences. Split the compiler information modules to allow
separate rules for Clang. Start by loading the GNU rules but leave a
place to add Clang-specific information.
Map to the platform and compiler information for GNU because the
compilers are command-line compatible for common operations. Later we
can add Clang-specific features as necessary. We honor the preferred
capitalization is "Clang", not the common mis-spelling "CLang".
