[ExpressionParser] Fix evaluation failures due to mismatch in C++ versions.

Clang recently switched to C++14 (with GNU extensions) as the default
dialect, but LLDB didn't catch up. This causes failures as LLDB still
evaluates ObjectiveC expressions as Objective C++ using C++98 as standard.

There are things not available in C++98, including, e.g. nullptr.
In some cases Objective-C `nil` is defined as `nullptr` so this causes
an evaluation failure. Switch the default to overcome this issue
(actually, currently lldb evaluates both C++11 and C++14 as C++11,
but that seems a larger change and definitely could be re-evaluated
in the future).

No test as this is currently failing on the LLDB bots after the clang
switch (so, de facto, there's a test already for it).
