Instead of using hacks or compiler-specific features, if we have
standard features as defined in ISO C11, use them.

Use autoconf to detect function attributes; some compilers like Sun CC
do support some gcc-style attributes, but don't define __GNUC__. Also
-U__STRICT_ANSI__ already in configure.ac so our tests match what we
might eventually encounter.
Add const_func and pure_func attributes.
Decorate functions in nasmlib.h with const_func and pure_func.

There is no reason to not use an archive manager to build our
executables. If there really are systems which don't have any kind of
archive manager, we can simply link all the objects.
This also drops any use of configure to detect library objects.
Instead just use HAVE_* and let the archive manager delete them.
A lot of additional functions could be declared library functions and
reorganized.
***FIX*** Mkfiles/*.mak have not yet been updated.

We are supposed to handle compiling on a "C90 plus long long"
compiler, so make gcc (our most common development platform compiler)
complain when we don't.
However, suppress the complaints about the Microsoft definitions of
the <inttypes.h> strings.

OpenWatcom 1.8 has a C99 mode, which implements _Bool and
<stdbool.h>. Unfortunately the implementation is broken, and doesn't
let _Bool be implicitly converted to integer (as required by the C99
spec). Detect this case in autoconf.
We can actually test for the options being accepted, rather than try
to test for gcc; this handles differences between gcc versions as well
as compilers with a similar command line set.
