Link vlc-cache-gen with the C++ standard library to avoid issues when we

dlclose() a C++ plugin that was built with a faulty library that may have
registered __cxa_atexit callbacks (usually through the libstdc++ that
library was built with).

Upgrading libstdc++ is not always a solution since some code may have been
inlined and we can't get rid of it.
