[PATCH v2] gdb, include: replace pragmas with DIAGNOSTIC macros, fix build with g++ 4.8

New in v2:

 - Patches 1 and 2 merged together
 - Add the default case for when DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH is not defined
 - Control whether DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH is defined based on gcc
   version in diagnostic.h

When introducing this code, I forgot that we had some macros for this.
Replace some "manual" pragma diagnostic with some DIAGNOSTIC_* macros,
provided by include/diagnostics.h.

In diagnostics.h:

 - Add DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR, to enable a diagnostic at error level.
 - Add DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH, to enable -Wswitch at error level, for
   both gcc and clang.

Additionally, using DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH, DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH and
DIAGNOSTIC_POP seems to misbehave with g++ 4.8, where we see these
errors:

      CXX    ada-tasks.o
    /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ada-tasks.c: In function ‘void read_known_tasks()’:
    /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ada-tasks.c:998:10: error: enumeration value ‘ADA_TASKS_UNKNOWN’ not handled in switch [-Werror=switch]
       switch (data->known_tasks_kind)
              ^

Because of the POP, the diagnostic should go back to being disabled,
since it was disabled in the beginning, but that's now what we see
here.  Versions of GCC >= 5 compile correctly.

Work around this by making DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH a no-op for GCC < 5.

Note that this code (already as it exists in master today) enables
-Wswitch at the error level even if --disable-werror is passed.  It
shouldn't be a problem, as it's not like a new enumerator will appear
out of nowhere and cause a build error if building with future
compilers.  Still, for correctness, we would ideally want to ask the
compiler to enable -Wswitch at its default level (as if the user had
passed -Wswitch on the command-line).  There doesn't seem to be a way to
do this.
