I'm working on adding support for __attribute__((__error__(""))) and
__attribute__((__warning__(""))) to Clang. To make use of these in
__compiletime_error and __compiletime_warning (as used by BUILD_BUG and
friends) for newer clang and detect/fallback for older versions of
clang, move these to compiler_attributes.h and guard them with
__has_attribute preprocessor guards.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Use __warning__ rather than warning in __has_attribute check, as per
Nathan.
* Don't sort existing __GCC4_has_attribute_* defines.

One comment below, please carry my tag forward in further revisions
unless they are significant.
Are you planning on petitioning for D106030 to be applied to
release/13.x when it is merged into main? If not, this should be updated
to 14.0.0 since that is main's current version.

I'm looking forward to having this working in Clang! :)

Ah, I forgot the release/13.x branch was cut before I sent this. I'd
rather this feature "ride the trains" so that it gets more soak time.

Miguel, would you like a v3 updating the comment above (and the
comment below) to s/13.0/14.0/g, or can you simply fold that change
into this one when applying it?

I can do the replacements on my side, no worries!

Bump, this has landed in llvm 14 (so needs a fixup when applying locally).
