Verilator requires a C++14 or newer compiler

[PeterWang-dev]

Type of issue: Bug Report

Please provide the steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Install Verilator 5.021
2. Use chisel-template as a test project
3. Run mill __.test

What is the current behavior? Verilator compile error while testing, complaining Verilator need a newer compiler above c++ 14.

What is the expected behavior? Test should work properly.

Please tell us about your environment:

• version: 6.0
• OS: Linux ArchLinux 6.7.4-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon, 05 Feb 2024 22:07:37 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Verilator version: Verilator 5.021 devel rev v5.020-105-ga187a16e5 (integrated with oss-cad-suite )
