Describe the issue

abseil requires c++14 or greater. The current version of bazel, out of the box, doesn't pass the necessary flags to enable c++14 or greater, resulting in an error when you try to follow the abseil bazel quickstart. I understand that work is in progress (bazelbuild/bazel#18181) to address this in bazel, but in the meantime please consider updating the quickstart. The quickstart should be as easy to use as possible, and yet as written it sends the reader on a merry chase to stackoverflow etc just to get a hello world integration with abseil to work. That shouldn't be necessary, and seems like it'd act as a repellent to new users.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Follow the quickstart
