[CMake] c++11 feature and cmake feature name mapping

[Nicholas Braden]

I don't think CMake can yet detect features of the standard library
implementation, only features of the language. One compiler may
support more features than another compiler which supports more of the
standard library, and in some cases the same compiler can support two
or more different standard libraries. I think you're better off
requesting the language standard you want directly with CXX_STANDARD.
