2698cab01c ENH: extend use of WM_COMPILER_CONTROL to manage compiler versions
- for compilers such as gcc and clang, may have several different
  variants installed on the computer. Use WM_COMPILER_CONTROL to
  specify the preferred variant.

  Eg,
      WM_COMPILER=Gcc
      WM_COMPILER_CONTROL="version=8"

      will compile with "gcc-8" and "g++-8"

  Good practice would be to tag output directory names with the
  version too. Eg

      WM_COMPILER=Clang110
      WM_COMPILER_CONTROL="version=11.0"

STYLE: modify message for change of gcc -> clang (darwin)

c2697f466d CONFIG: update c++ standard, some compiler rules (partially addresses #2209)
- migrate to c++14 for most compilers *except* gcc.
  There are still many systems in use with gcc-4.8.5, which does not
  support c++14.

- initial rules for nvidia compilers (pgi is will soon be defunct).
  Not fully tested...

CONFIG: provide fallback value for the user directory name

- in containers may have an unset USER env variable.
  Default to 'user' to prevent ugly looking directory names.
