Log message:
hunspell: Fix a ctype(3) abuse

There are probably other ctype(3) abuses but "-Wall" does not seem to
work when <cctype> is included because the macros get undef-ed and
that one was exercised the hard way via `hunspell -t`.

Log message:
hunspell: bump required GCC to 7, and use c++11.

This is required to get this to build on NetBSD/i386 8.0 and
NetBSD/macppc 8.0, where the in-tree c++ compiler has apparently
now become too old.  Bump to c++11 based on configure tests, which
among other things checks if c++11 is enabled by default.
Bump PKGREVISION.
