`-Wno-overriding-option` is properly named, so affecting new overriding-options 
uses looks fine to me.
`-Wno-overriding-t-option` is awkward, and making it affect new uses makes me 
nervous.

The gist of my previous comment is whether the uses cases really justify a tiny 
bit of tech bit in clang and I think the answer is no.

This change is not about changing a semantic warning that has mixed opinions, 
e.g. `-Wbitwise-op-parentheses` (many consider it not justified).
