Fixes #3631.

When C++ bindings are enabled, ffigen now defaults clang to C++17 and selects the macOS SDK as the sysroot on macOS. Explicit compiler options are appended after these defaults, so callers can still override the language standard or add include paths.

The C++ parser and native integration configurations now rely on these defaults instead of repeating -x c++, -std=c++17, and the macOS sysroot. A focused config test covers the platform-specific default list.

Validation:

  • dart analyze lib
  • dart analyze test/config_tests/compiler_opts_test.dart
  • dart test test/config_tests/compiler_opts_test.dart
  • Focused parser/binding tests for unsupported C++ return types, classes, inheritance, and POD records (9 tests)
  • dart format and git diff --check

Two tests that include the C++ <memory> header (cpp_cyclic_class and memory_edge_cases) currently fail in the unchanged baseline on this machine because the local Xcode 26.2 SDK/libclang combination cannot resolve its builtin stdarg.h. The remaining affected C++ configurations pass without their manually specified compiler options.

This change is unrelated. We're going to improve how the args work soon, but revert this for now. See #3630

Reverted that change in a91b2be. Explicit compiler options retain their original replacement behavior; C++ defaults apply only when none are provided.

all these overlapping checks for isMacOs and cpp are pretty unreadable. There's gotta be a way of simplifying this.

Simplified the defaults into separate C++ and non-C++ branches in a91b2be, removing the overlapping conditions. The compiler-options test passes and library analysis is clean.
