Don't include <stdatomic.h> in C++

OPENSSL_C11_ATOMIC is both computed in crypto/internal.h and also
defined externally. This is a remnant of C11 atomics were an opt-in
feature.

If defined externally, this means OPENSSL_C11_ATOMIC might be defined
when built as C++. That, in turn, causes <stdatomic.h> to be included in
C++ mode. At least one of our users toolchains has a <stdatomic.h> that
is incompatible with C++.  We don't get anything out of including it, so
just gate the include on !defined(__cplusplus) for now.

Things to look into as follow-up:

- Fix build files to stop defining OPENSSL_C11_ATOMIC. Prior to
  https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/59847, it was
  still serving a purpose: in server builds, if autodetection fails, we
  would rather fail to build than accidentally fallback to locks.
  There is no lock fallback anymore.

- Fix that toolchain so their <stdatomic.h> is C++-compatible. It's
  certainly not C++23-conformant. I suspect it's also not
  C++11-conformant, but I'm not positive.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
