    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.
