GoogleTest - Google Testing and Mocking Framework

Release notes

# Release Notes

GoogleTest will **not** accept patches of new features to the `v1.18.x` branch.  
We recommend building GoogleTest from the latest commit instead.   
Exceptional critical bug fixes may be considered.

## C++ Language Support
* GoogleTest now requires at least C++17 and follows [Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy](https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support). See [this table](https://github.com/google/oss-policies-info/blob/main/foundational-cxx-support-matrix.md) for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.

## Notable Changes
* Set GTEST_INTERNAL_HAS_STRING_VIEW = 1 in googletest as C++17 always supports it
 (https://github.com/google/googletest/commit/4f472747b124e9ddf3434c0e77ea032c799244d5)
* Many bug fixes
