#2007 Build fails using G++ (C++14)

[Artem VL]

Both scintilla and scite builds fail using default G++ on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) .

Fixed in the Scintilla Merge Request #21

[Neil Hodgson]

Scintilla and SciTE 4.x require gcc 7.x or later for C++17 features.

[Artem VL]

Now it is possible to build everything with gcc 5.4+ starting from C++14. Why not to extend the supporting environment for free using this fix?

[Neil Hodgson]

C++17 includes useful new features. There are further changes in progress that use more new features like std::string_view, std::optional, if constexpr, and structured bindings.
