c++: Move -Wdangling-reference to -Wextra
Despite a number of mitigations (don't warn for std::span-like classes,
lambdas, adding [[gnu::no_dangling]], etc.), the warning still seems to
cause some grief. Let's move the warning to -Wextra, then.
gcc/c-family/ChangeLog:
* c.opt (Wdangling-reference): Move from -Wall to -Wextra.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* doc/invoke.texi: Document that -Wdangling-reference is
enabled by -Wextra.
