__typeof_unqual__ is available in Clang 19.1.0 in all C modes as an
extension [1] and as reported in [2], bindgen 0,70.1 seems to parse
__typeof_unqual__ okay.

[1] https://releases.llvm.org/19.1.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/9fa81826-8fa6-47e4-a0a2-4916e5d042a7@stanley.mountain/

Maybe configure could detect bindgen version and disable
CC_HAS_TYPEOF_UNQUAL [3] if it is too old?
