g++ 14 defaults to C++ 17

In 2026 images:

[root@ac15caa7e119 aswf]# echo | g++ -dM -E -x c++ - | grep __cplusplus
#define __cplusplus 201703L
[root@ac15caa7e119 aswf]# echo | g++ -dM -E -x c++ -std=c++20 - | grep __cplusplus
#define __cplusplus 202002L
[root@ac15caa7e119 aswf]# g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 14.2.1 20250110 (Red Hat 14.2.1-11)

This is not a problem for Conan builds which set the C++ standard version, but for projects building outside of Conan, they could end up building in C++ 17 mode even in a 2026 container which is supposed to mandate C++ 20.

There doesn't seem to be a simple configuration file / environment variable to set the default C++ mode for g++, perhaps a wrapper around the binary would be needed?
