build: change the way we set cxx version for bazel.

Before, we did set cxx version to c++17 using COPTS in our bazel files.
This was wrong, and part of the dependencies were then built with the
default standard version. This was not an issue until we moved to c++17.

Then, we decided to use the bazel --cxxopt=-std=c++17, but this was only
valid for nix platforms.
The last option left is to ask the user to specify the standard
when building using bazel.
