[PATCH 1/3] build: Check for -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 separately

From: Timm Bäder <tbaeder@redhat.com>

GCC accepts the =5, which means it doesn't try to parse any comments
and only accepts the fallthrough attribute in code. Clang does not ever
parse any comments and always wants the fallthrough attribute anyway.
Clang also doesn't accept the =n parameter for -Wimplicit-fallthrough.

Test for =5 separately and use it if supported and fall back to just
-Wimplicit-fallthrough otherwise.
