configure: check if tests can get built before enabled

The current approach for disabling tests is not a good solution because
it forces you to pass --disable-tests, rather than auto-detect if your
system can support the tests in the first place.  Many (most?) systems
do not have C++11.  This also causes issues when chain-building c-ares,
the hosting system needs to be updated to support passing this
additional flag if necessary, it doesn't seem reasonable to add this
requirement which breaks compatibility.

This change auto-detects if the system can build the tests and
automatically disable them if it cannot.  If you pass --enable-tests to
configure and the system cannot build them either due to lack of system
support, or because cross-compilation is being used, it will throw an
appropriate error since the user indicated they really did want the
tests.
