Add -fgnuc-version= to control __GNUC__ and other GCC macros
I noticed that compiling on Windows with -fno-ms-compatibility had the side effect of defining __GNUC__, along with __GNUG__, __GXX_RTTI__, and a number of other macros for GCC compatibility. This is undesirable and causes Chromium to do things like mix __attribute__ and __declspec, which doesn't work. We should have a positive language option to enable GCC compatibility features so that we can experiment with -fno-ms-compatibility on Windows. This change adds -fgnuc-version= to be that option. My issue aside, users have, for a long time, reported that __GNUC__ doesn't match their expectations in one way or another. We have encouraged users to migrate code away from this macro, but new code continues to be written assuming a GCC-only environment. There's really nothing we can do to stop that. By adding this flag, we can allow them to choose their own adventure with __GNUC__. This overlaps a bit with the "GNUMode" language option from -std=gnu*. The gnu language mode tends to enable non-conforming behaviors that we'd rather not enable by default, but the we want to set things like __GXX_RTTI__ by default, so I've kept these separate.
