Subject: [PATCH] examples/lib/cplusplus: simplfy, make more like the simple
 example

To prep for the removal of the lib runmode, simplify this C++ example
to match our simple example. We don't yet have the C++ compatible
headers to allow for a C++ app to register its own custom runmode.

(cherry picked from commit 7dd23392cc87182e9d83d69b7b3b4e1a6ae1f02d)
