python: set CXX to prevent sccache detection in meson via

graphics/py-matplotlib with MODPY_PYBUILD=mesonpy via /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages/mesonbuild/envconfig.py: return ExternalProgram('sccache', silent=True) detects /usr/local/bin/sccache and uses that over default "c++", leading to build failure with PORTS_PRIVSEP=yes: sccache: error: failed to create directory `/py-matplotlib-3.10.8_writes_to_HOME/.cache/sccache/preprocessor`: Permission denied (os error 13) Environmental CXX takes priority, but is not set compared to CC, which is how I tracked this down not knowing anything about how Python builds C++ code. Setting CXX where CC comes from fixes it and seems safe. tb@ mentioned COMPILER_LANGS, but I don't fully understand the implications of having CXX in the environment for Python ports doing COMPILER_LANGS=C (if they exist), so I just gated it. This fixes matplotlib for me when sccache is installed. Feedback? OK?
