Add macros for diagnostic control, use for scanf %a tests.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00326.html>,
Roland requested internal macros for use of "#pragma GCC diagnostic".

This patch adds such macros and uses them to disable -Wformat warnings
for some code testing GNU scanf %as where GCC expects C99 scanf %a
(several other stdio tests currently use -Wno-format to disable
warnings).  Limitations in GCC's diagnostic pragmas require separate
macros before and after the code generating the warnings, rather than
a single macro taking that code as an argument.

The macros are named DIAG_*_NEEDS_COMMENT to emphasise to reviewers
the need for a comment accompanying any use of them (such comments may
however just appear once for several uses of the macros for the same
issue in the same file).  I put a GCC version in the arguments to
DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT, as that seems something useful to grep for
when obsoleting support for an old GCC version and needing to decide
if warning-disabling code is still relevant.

These macros should be usable for replacing existing -Wno-* use in
makefiles (as also suggested by Roland), though I have no plans to
work on that (only on use of the macros in cases where warnings are
currently present that need disabling to use -Werror).

Tested for x86_64.

	* include/libc-internal.h (DIAG_PUSH_NEEDS_COMMENT): New macro.
	(DIAG_POP_NEEDS_COMMENT): Likewise.
	(_DIAG_STR1): Likewise.
	(_DIAG_STR): Likewise.
	(DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT): Likewise.
	* stdio-common/bug21.c: Include <libc-internal.h>.
	(do_test): Disable -Wformat around call to sscanf.
	* stdio-common/scanf14.c: Include <libc-internal.h>.
	(main): Disable -Wformat around some calls to scanf functions.
