Note that this series of commits to remove checks for __GNUCLIKE* and __CC_SUPPORTS*
have been based on the assumption that FreeBSD itself (base system and kernel) requires
a modern version of GCC/clang (and that we aren't going to support ancient versions
of icc or other compilers that don't support the GNU C extensions we rely on).

In particular, I haven't removed anything from <sys/cdefs.h> which might have
broader fallout.  We probably still want to permit using a compiler like tcc to
build "plain" C applications (that aren't using FreeBSD-specific APIs like
<machine/atomic.h> or <machine/cpufunc.h>).
