This summarizes GCC 11's change in build requirements from C++98 to
C++11, for the release notes. I've put it in the Caveats immediately
below the "The default mode for C++ is..." change hence the wording.
I've based it on the change to gcc/doc/install.texi in the
GCC source tree, which was 5329b59a2e13dabbe2038af0fe2e3cf5fc7f98ed
there.
Validates.
OK to commit?
