sys/cdefs.h: Do not require C++ compilers to define __STDC__

The check for an ISO C compiler assumes that anything GCC-like will
define __STDC__, even if it's actually a C++ compiler. That's currently
true for G++ and compilers like clang++ that also define __GNUC__, but
it might not always be true.

The C++ standard leaves it implementation-defined whether or not
__STDC__ is defined by C++ compilers. And really the check should be
"ISO C or ISO C++ conforming compiler" anyway. So only give an error if
__GNUC__ is defined and neither __STDC__ nor __cplusplus is defined.
