[ Upstream commit 5a6b64adc18d9adfb497a529ff004d59b6df151f ]

The latest GCC 13 snapshot (13.0.1 20230129) gives the following:
```
cc1: error: cannot load plugin ./scripts/gcc-plugins/randomize_layout_plugin.so
 :./scripts/gcc-plugins/randomize_layout_plugin.so: undefined symbol: tree_code_type
```

This ends up being because of https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gcc.git;h=b0241ce6e37031
upstream in GCC which changes the visibility of some types used by the kernel's
plugin infrastructure like tree_code_type.

After discussion with the GCC folks, we found that the kernel needs to be building
plugins with the same flags used to build GCC - and GCC defaults to gnu++17
right now. The minimum GCC version needed to build the kernel is GCC 5.1
and GCC 5.1 already defaults to gnu++14 anyway, so just drop the flag, as
all GCCs that could be used to build GCC already default to an acceptable
version which was >= the version we forced via flags until now.
