Motivation for this change

It evaluate, but I need to test it actually.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

If I am not mistaking this should also fix #73345 (comment)

Am I correct that gcc only ever contains one directory at those levels?

At runtime in a nix-shell we want to find include paths
used by the current c/c++ compiler for use in c/c++ tooling i.e.
clangd/clang-tools.
This way it should respect the current environment instead
of hard-coding what was used at build-time.
Also only include c++ specific headers in CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
as CPATH is respected for c++ as well according to clang(1).

Closing this to encourage other folks to pick it up.... I luckily don't have to do c++...
