Need a 'new' version of cppunit

[Dr15Jones]

The cppunit code is using std::auto_ptr which is deprecated in the C++ standard. However, it appears that the official version of cppunit is no longer being updated. Therefore I suggest we either

1. find a fork of cppunit that is being updated by the community or
2. fork our own version of cppunit so we can updated it to the latest C++ standard.

Eventually we can phase out our use of cppunit in favor of catch2 (which we are already beginning to use).

regardless of the current state of development, it looks like we might be nine years behind the most recent release...

potential good news: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/cppunit cd cppunit/ grep -r auto_ptr returns nothing..
