Re: Add macros for diagnostic control, use for scanf %a tests

Fair enough on both points, but this underscores the suggestion that for test cases let's do just put a simple pragma at the start of the file. To grep it later we can use a stylized comment, like this:

/* (GCC 4.9) gcc -Werror -Wformat fails in C99 mode because ... */
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wformat"

as it's not worth our time (or our readers' time) to get fancier on test cases.
