Use C++11 features supported by CMake 3.1. #1441

This implements the proposed workaround to get the target fetaures to work on CMake versions before 3.8. I've confirmed this works on CMake 3.5.1, which is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.

This relates to the discussion in #1428. And replaces pending PR #1440.


Pull request checklist

Read the Contribution Guidelines for detailed information.

  • Changes are described in the pull request, or an existing issue is referenced.
  • The test suite compiles and runs without error.
  • Code coverage is 100%. Test cases can be added by editing the test suite.
  • The source code is amalgamated; that is, after making changes to the sources in the include/nlohmann directory, run make amalgamate to create the single-header file single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp. The whole process is described here.

Please don't

  • The C++11 support varies between different compilers and versions. Please note the list of supported compilers. Some compilers like GCC 4.7 (and earlier), Clang 3.3 (and earlier), or Microsoft Visual Studio 13.0 and earlier are known not to work due to missing or incomplete C++11 support. Please refrain from proposing changes that work around these compiler's limitations with #ifdefs or other means.
  • Specifically, I am aware of compilation problems with Microsoft Visual Studio (there even is an issue label for these kind of bugs). I understand that even in 2016, complete C++11 support isn't there yet. But please also understand that I do not want to drop features or uglify the code just to make Microsoft's sub-standard compiler happy. The past has shown that there are ways to express the functionality such that the code compiles with the most recent MSVC - unfortunately, this is not the main objective of the project.
  • Please refrain from proposing changes that would break JSON conformance. If you propose a conformant extension of JSON to be supported by the library, please motivate this extension.
  • Please do not open pull requests that address multiple issues.

Had to update the PR, I didn't modify the benchmark CMakeLists. The workaround didn't work because there's some weird stuff going on in the benchmark/thirdparty folder. The main CmakeLists there requires cmake version 2.8.12, yet the cmake at the source files uses the FILTER directive on a list, which was only added in CMake 3.6.3. I chose to revert the benchmark folder to require CMake 3.8 again.

This should not be marked stale imo, we've had discussion on @1440 about this PR and decided that this is the best way of solving the problem. @pboettch has approved this a month ago. @nlohmann , if you have comments / concerns I'd be happy to address them, otherwise this can go in.
