build: avoid warnings on older gcc

Browse Source 
A previous patch (c606671a) pulled in a newer version of
stat-time.h from gnulib, which causes some warnings in older gcc:

  CC     libvirt_driver_storage_la-storage_backend.lo
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
In file included from ../../src/storage/storage_backend.c:59:
../../gnulib/lib/stat-time.h:55: error: no previous prototype for 'get_stat_atime_ns' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

Upstream gnulib argues that these warnings are stupid (and I agree;
see <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54113>), and has
used a modern gcc feature (#pragma GCC diagnostic push) to avoid the
warning.  But we still aim to compile on RHEL 6.3, with gcc 4.4.6
(not to mention even older platforms like RHEL 5), and therefore
the warning trips up our default of development with -Werror.

It took me a while to figure out how to make our set of warnings
smaller on older gcc without losing the benefit of the warnings
when using newer gcc (such as the one on Fedora 17), but this
should do the trick.

* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Avoid
warnings that gnulib can't silence on older gcc.
