iiopp: Relax required standard to C++11 (requires Boost for optional-…

…type)

The requirement of C++17 was only due to minor features. The missing
std::optional is now replaced by boost::optional if C++17 is not available.
Of course in that case Boost headers must be available.

The examples still depend on C++17. This avoids the dependency on Boot.
