build: Update C++ standard from c++17 to c++20

[mc-nv]

What does the PR do?

• Upstream PyTorch raised ATen's minimum required C++ standard from 17 to 20 ([12/12] Enforce C++20 minimum in header guards (#178150) pytorch/pytorch#178150), breaking the pytorch_backend build.
• Bumps this repo's C++ standard default from 17 to 20 for consistency across the Triton stack.

Test plan:

• CI Pipeline ID: 67062220

Caveats:

This repo has no direct dependency on ATen/libtorch; the bump is for cross-repo C++ standard consistency, not a confirmed build break here.

Background

Part of a coordinated C++17->C++20 bump across ~18 Triton component repos (TRI-1877), triggered by upstream PyTorch's ATen.h now requiring C++20.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge as an intentional toolchain baseline update.

Summary

• Applies C++20 through the existing common-compile-settings interface target.
• Aligns the repository with the coordinated Triton stack migration prompted by PyTorch’s new ATen requirement.
• No actionable correctness, security, or repository-rule violations were identified.
