0.9.2 --- a standard header compiles for every target, not only Linux (#17)

libc++'s musl locale support calls strtof_l, strtod_l, strtold_l and vasprintf,
which musl declares only under _GNU_SOURCE. Clang predefines _GNU_SOURCE for C++
on Linux targets only, so any consumer translation unit that includes a standard
header (every module wrapper of a header library does) failed for macOS and
Windows. __config_site now states _GNU_SOURCE, and CI cross-builds examples/cxx,
which includes <filesystem>, for both targets.

+The last line is not a libc++ switch, and it is here for the same reason as the

 The first was measured rather than assumed. With it at `0` — the value a
 toolchain configured for glibc ships — a translation unit that includes
 `<vector>` fails with twenty errors, of which the first names the cause:
