lib: cpp: Relocate subsys/cpp to lib/cpp

Browse source 
This commit moves the files under `subsys/cpp` directory to the
`lib/cpp` directory because the C++ ABI runtime library and the
standard C++ library components are not a "subsystem" (aka. API) in
conventional sense and is better described as a "library."

Classifying the C++ ABI runtime library and the standard C++ library as
"libraries" instead of "subsystems" also better aligns with how the
existing C standard library implementation (`lib/libc`) is handled.

enable basic C++ language support. This includes:

The scope of the minimal C++ library is strictly limited to providing the basic
C++ language support, and it does not implement any `Standard Template Library
(STL)`_ classes and functions. For this reason, it is only suitable for use in
the applications that implement their own (non-standard) class library and do
rely on the Standard Template Library (STL) components.
