ARROW-17545: [C++][CI] Mandate C++17 instead of C++11 (apache#13991)

This PR switches our build system to require C++17 instead of C++11.

Because the conda packaging jobs are out of sync with the conda-forge files, the Windows conda packaging jobs are broken with this change. The related task (sync conda packaging files with conda-forge) is tracked in ARROW-17635.
