    Remove -fms-extensions throughout the tree
    
    During a discussion about using -fms-extensions jhb pointed out that
    we have them enabled in the kernel for gcc by default (even multiple
    times in one part). I had missed all that and clang still failed on
    my use case (needing another option).
    
    The original cause for enabling them for our tree back then was that
    we needed to support C11 anonymous struct/unions.
    Our in-tree gcc 4.2.1, despite later patches, needed the
    -fms-extensions to support these even though this was not the expected
    use case for that option ( cc4a90c445aa0 enabled it globally for the
    kernel).
    clang at that time (or at least when it became default for 10.0)
    already was fine (with C11).
    
    Any later gcc (4.6.0 onwards) did not need that option anymore, even
    when compiled for -std=iso9899:1990 (which does not support anonymous
    structs/unions) unless one would add -pedantic (see gcc git 4bdd0a60b27a).
    This is also the reason why userland cddl sources now compile with the
    option removed despite CSTD=c99.
    
    The only driver which needed the option recently was ccp, but that was
    fixed in 8d3f41dbcb2a by jhb.
    
    So cleanup all uses cases of -fms-extensions for the moment as they are
    no longer needed given all compilers currently supported seem to be
    fine without them and gcc-4.2.1 was removed from the tree in stable/13
    in 2020 (a9854bc3812b).
