There is no reason for the top-level C++ Kconfig symbol to be called
`CPLUSPLUS` when the convention used throughout the Zephyr codebase is
to use "cpp" to refer to C++ and the rest of the C++-related Kconfig
symbols are prefixed with `CPP_`.
This commit renames the Kconfig `CPLUSPLUS` symbol to `CPP` in order to
better align with the de-facto standard naming convention used throughout
the Zephyr codebase, and deprecates the old `CPLUSPLUS` symbol.

This commit relocates the "C++ minimal library" components, that
implement a very limited subset of the standard C++ library, to a
dedicated directory, `lib/cpp/minimal`, in order to provide a clear
separation among the different C++ library components.
After this refactoring, the top `lib/cpp` directory should only contain
the sub-directories for each C++ library (i.e. `abi`, `minimal`). In
the future, a C++ library-specific shim layer implementation may be
added as sub-directories under `lib/cpp` as well (e.g. `libstdc++`
sub-directory containing the shim layer implementation for the GCC
libstdc++ library) -- this is similar to how the libc directories are
structured under `lib/libc`.

This commit relocates the "C++ ABI library" components such as
global constructor/destructor and initialiser handlers to a dedicated
directory, `lib/cpp/abi`, in order to provide a clear separation
between the C++ ABI/runtime library and the standard C++ library
components.
Note that the Zephyr C++ ABI library currently implements the GNU/GCC
C++ ABI, which is the de-facto standard ABI used by many compilers
including Clang -- it may be necessary to sub-divide the `lib/cpp/abi`
into `lib/cpp/abi/gnu` and `lib/cpp/abi/someotherabi` in the future
when adding the support for a C++ compiler that expects an ABI vastly
different from the GNU C++ ABI.

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.
