Subject: Implement {c,cxx}.guess modules

These can be loaded before {c,cxx} to guess the compiler. Based on this
information we can then choose the standard, experimental features, etc.
For example:

using cxx.guess

if ($cxx.id == 'clang')
  cxx.features.modules = false

cxx.std = experimental

using cxx
