build: avoid -Wno-format on new-enough gcc

Commit c579d6b added a sledgehammer to silence spurious warnings from
gcc 4.2, but in the process, it also silenced useful warnings from
gcc 4.3 through 4.5.  As a result, a bug slipped in to commit 0caccb58.

Tested with FreeBSD (gcc 4.2.1), RHEL 6.3 (gcc 4.4), and F17 (gcc 4.7.2),
where the former didn't trip on spurious warnings, and where the latter
two detected a revert of 2b804cf.

* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wno-format): Probe for the actual
spurious message, to once again allow gcc 4.4 to use -Wformat.
