Bug#862200: cwidget FTCBFS: untranslated build-dependency on g++

cwidget fails to cross build, because its build dependency on g++ is
unsatisfiable. In theory, we'd have to apply toolchain dependency cross
translation to such a dependency, but this feature is unavailable in the
archive at present. The intent of the dependency was to help with the
libstdc++6 transition, which has long completed. Thus I propose to
simply drop the dependency. Once done, cwidget cross builds
successfully. Please consider applying the attached patch after stretch
is released.
