meson: Switch to C++17

Due to popular request, move from C++14 to C++17. This will allow
dropping some custom constructs (such as a custom utils::clamp),
benefiting from new language features, and dropping gcc 5 and 6 from the
compilation tests.

The code shall be implemented in C++14, with the following caveats:
The code shall be implemented in C++17, with the following caveats:
* Type inference (auto and decltype) shall be used with caution, to avoid
drifting towards an untyped language.
* The explicit, override and final specifiers are to be used where applicable.
* General-purpose smart pointers (std::unique_ptr) deprecate std::auto_ptr.

* Classes are encouraged to define move constructors and assignment operators
where applicable, and generally make use of the features offered by rvalue
