Version 1.13.0 of gtest requires C++14 #830

Description

@musicinmybrain

The latest version of gtest (1.13.0) requires C++14, but easyloggingpp compiles and runs its tests as C++11.

This will be increasingly problematic for some users. For example, Linux distribution packages working with system copies of gtest will have to patch the tests to use C++14. (I maintain the easyloggingpp package in Fedora Linux).

Presumably you would stop claiming C++11 support if you stop testing it. Is there a plan to do this, moving forward to C++14 as the new minimum? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
