C++ Project Boilerplate

Set-up the minimum project structure and boilerplate code for modern C++ (C++17). Including:

• Sources, headers, and mains separated in distinct folders
• CMake for compiling
• Tests using 'Google tests'
• CPPLint.cfg to store cpplint configuration
• .gitignore for C++ project
• CI using Github Actions
