This patch adds support for the C2x [[maybe_unused]] attribute, using
the same handler as for GNU __attribute__ ((unused)).
As with other such attribute support, I think turning certain warnings
into pedwarns for usage in cases where that is a constraint violation
can be addressed later as a bug fix, as can the C2x constraint for
various standard attributes that they do not appear more than once
inside a single [[]].
However, the warnings that appear in c2x-attr-maybe_unused-1.c (that
the attribute is ignored on member declarations) need to remain as
warnings not pedwarns, since C2x does permit the attribute there. (Or
they could be silenced, on the basis that GCC doesn't have warnings
for unused struct and union members so it's completely harmless that
it's ignoring an attribute that might do something useful with another
compiler that does have such warnings.)
Bootstrapped with no regressions on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Applied to
mainline.
This concludes the C2x features I'm doing for the present stage 1 (I
won't get [[nodiscard]] done this stage 1), though there will be
various followup fixes related to attributes.
