    manywarnings: add -fno-common

This caused libvirt Mingw build to break with the compiler
reporting 100's of definitions of virConnectAuthPtrDefault

The cause is our VIR_EXPORT_VAR macro which has some
magic on win to add dllexport/dllimport to the variable
declaration. Unfortunately the dllexport branch missed
off the 'extern' keyword, so the header file was in
fact declaring an instance of the variable in every
source file.

Previously the linker would merge all these definitions
into one, but that no longer happens due to -fno-common
