Avoid clang warnings regarding [[__nodiscard__]]


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: Avoid clang warnings regarding [[__nodiscard__]]

Building a Gnulib testdir on FreeBSD 12.0, which uses clang 6.0.1, I see
several warnings such as

../../gltests/../gllib/gl_list.h:642:1: warning: unknown attribute 
'__nodiscard__' ignored [-Wunknown-attributes]

The cause is that in this version of clang, __has_c_attribute(__nodiscard__)
apparently returns true, but the use of [[__nodiscard__]] elicits a warning.
Here's how it depends on the clang version:

clang   result
-----   -------
5.0.2   error
6.0.1   warning
7.0.1   warning
8.0.0   warning
9.0.0   warning
10.0.0  warning
11.0.0  warning
12.0.1  warning
13.0.0  warning
14.0.0  warning
15.0.6  warning

This patch fixes the warnings, by choosing a different (more conservative)
expansion of _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NODISCARD.

        Avoid clang warnings regarding [[__nodiscard__]].
        * m4/gnulib-common.m4 (gl_COMMON_BODY): For clang, in C++ mode, ignore
        the __has_c_attribute value and define _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NODISCARD to
        __attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__)), not [[__nodiscard__]].
