This looks like a bit of a strange change, when we now wrap the entire file in
`extern "C"`. However this has two key benefits:
1. `dot_builtins` and `dot_static` that include this source needed an
Autotools hack¹ to force compilation to use the C++ front end (`c++`)
instead of the C front end (`cc`) in order to link against the C++ standard
library. By moving this source into C++ we can remove this hack.
2. When trying to integrate `dot_builtins` into the CMake build system, MSVC
complains (correctly) that the initializers to the array in this file are
not compile-time constants. GCC and Clang apparently allow this by a
non-standard extension. By moving this into C++, we get more relaxed
initialization semantics that allow this on all compilers.
