For the initial PR I took a maximalist approach removing all "C++" qualifiers, but I am not 100% sure that this was appropriate for all the cases in [basic], especially in text around the specification of the C++ memory model --- hopefully we can find consensus in either direction in review. I have no such concerns with the removal from the other three files. |

Partially addresses #8514.
All programs in the C++ Standard are C++ programs, so there should be no distinction between the terms "program" and "C++ program". This PR addresses redundant use of "C++" in the Core language clauses, while skipping any review of clauses 1--4 where, stylistically, the C++ epithet may remain appropriate. A more nuanced review of those clauses may follow.
Similarly, we would largely ignore use in [lib-intro] and [support] when reviewing usage in the library clauses.
