Subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] Compiler Attributes: Add __diagnose_as for Clang

Clang will perform various compile-time diagnostics on uses of various
functions (e.g. simple bounds-checking on strcpy(), etc). These
diagnostics can be assigned to other functions (for example, new
implementations of the string functions under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE)
using the "diagnose_as_builtin" attribute. This allows those functions
to retain their compile-time diagnostic warnings.
