[libiberty] Add ARG_UNUSED as a C++-friendly replacement for ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED

[Bernardo Innocenti]

Hello,

this patch adds the ARG_UNUSED() macro to be used in place of
ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED.  The syntax looks like this:

	void foo (ARG_UNUSED (int, x))
	{
	} 

The C++ frontend can't parse attribute((unused)) when it
appears after the variable name.  The cleanest work-around
is using the standard C++ syntax to specify unused
parameters, which can also be used when bootstrapping from
other C++ compilers.

This patch is a prerequisite for the upcoming C++ bootstrap
patches that I've been preparing.
