This PR improves C++ language detection by analyzing compiler arguments.

Before my PR, the language was detected by checking if "++" existed in the compiler name. This approach is incorrect in certain cases.

// If ++ exists within the compiler name (e.g. clang++, g++, etc), use C++
std::string exe(clang_getCString(clang_CompileCommand_getArg(cmd, 0)));
use_c_ = (exe.find("++", 0) == std::string::npos);

e.g my build utility xmake is only using clang not clang++ in the compile_commands.json and setting -std=c++20.
