compilers: prefer C++ over objc in clink_langs

Otherwise we will try to use the objc compiler when linking projects
with both objc and C++.

Technically we should use the objc++ linker when doing this, but on
most (all?) systems the objc++ linker is `c++`, which is the same
as the C++ linker.

Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2468
