Description
Currently the c++ version (e.g. c++11, c++14) used by a project is determined by ./libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/config.linux.common.mk (on Linux). Provide a way such that the version can be overridden by a project in config.make.
This is useful for projects needing to be compiled on different platforms whose c++ version support differs. By being able to be explicit about a version a project can set a version that would be supported across all targeted platforms.

Research direction
Start by reading libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/config.linux.common.mk to see how the C++ version is currently selected, then trace how a project's config.make is loaded. Check the existing project configuration flow across supported platforms. Done means a project can explicitly override the C++ version while the current default remains unchanged.
