add automake helpers to enforce --std=cxx11

switching to std::unique_ptr<> in 52c9f62 caused some trouble for
users of "older" compilers: they needed to add the --std=cxx11 flag
by hand. to make life more convenient, m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4
and m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4 are added to do the right thing.

in my tests, the last "good" compiler is gcc-4.8, gcc-4.7 does not
support the required c++11 standard.

clang++-3.5 also works.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11([ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++11
+#   standard; if necessary, add switches to CXX and CXXCPP to enable
+#   support.
+#
+#   This macro is a convenience alias for calling the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX
+#   macro with the version set to C++11.  The two optional arguments are
+#   forwarded literally as the second and third argument respectively.
+#   Please see the documentation for the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX macro for
+#   more information.  If you want to use this macro, you also need to
+#   download the ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 file.
