Now that Tamas has added the msvc2015/2-17SDK's, I'd like to call a vote

It's not clear to me that the benefits of the C++11 requirement justify
the potential trouble for those who have to support platforms with older
compilers. I do care about portability, it was one of the founding
principles of the project 20 years ago and I do not think that "stick to
GDAL 2.2" is an acceptable answer to the portability question. The fact
that other SDKs or apps may have the C++11 requirement is also not a
justification in my mind either for a core piece as important as GDAL.
That being said, I don't think I will be directly affected by the
change, and there seem to be enough contributors who are keen on dealing
with this that I do not need to worry about the problems and should not
block progress.
