WIP : Compile updates

Hi @au543682 , @klytje

I have made a couple of minor changes to the CMakeLists.txt file:

1. Replaced C+11 with C++17
2. Added symlinks for the simXtest executable

Running the unit tests on my machine (root 6.24, latest version of AUSAlib), I get 55 tests failing:

[2022-01-05 19:41:58.119] [GraphDistribution] [notice] Graph test/_res/dwba_output.dat is givin is degrees. Converting to radians.
FAILURE: 55 out of 408 tests failed (55 failures).
Test time: 1.01 seconds.

Starting from the top, the errors in S3SetupTest.cpp seem to be triggered by the call to AUSA::JSON::readSetupFromJSON("test/_res/hit_setup/setup.json"). So I'm guessing perhaps these tests are all failing due to recent changes in AUSAlib. Your thoughts? (I can do a more thorough investigation, but thought I'd check with you first.)

Are you planning on re-instating the automated AUSAlib CI pipeline? Would obviously be helpful for catching errors like these.

Cheers, Oliver
