GDB now requires a C++ compiler

FYI,
Building GDB master now requires a C++ compiler. The option to
build with a C compiler has been removed.
IOW, we can now make use of C++-only features in master.
Please keep in mind that we'll be wanting to backport patches
to the 7.12 branch, which supports building as C, though. So if a
patch is likely to need to be backported, then it's going to be
easier to write it in C from the start.
