[feature suggestion - CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER] add check for clang++ binary path

this is on the heels of #21493 (closed)

where CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/lib/llvm-11/bin/clang been declared whilst it should have been CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/lib/llvm-11/bin/clang++

seeing that the compiler's frontend binary is the same for C and C++

# stat /usr/lib/llvm-11/bin/clang++
  File: /usr/lib/llvm-11/bin/clang++ -> clang
  Size: 5               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   symbolic link

it could lead to a situation as mentioned in the cited issue. I had a discussion at some other place and was to understand that I am not the only one that made this mistake, hence it perhaps would be viable addition to implement such check.
