Bjoern A. Zeeb 93d301d95a Remove -fms-extensions throughout the tree ...

During a discussion about using -fms-extensions jhb pointed out that
we have them enabled in the kernel for gcc by default (even multiple
times in one part). I had missed all that and clang still failed on
my use case (needing another option).

The original cause for enabling them for our tree back then was that
we needed to support C11 anonymous struct/unions.
Our in-tree gcc 4.2.1, despite later patches, needed the
-fms-extensions to support these even though this was not the expected
use case for that option ( cc4a90c445 enabled it globally for the
kernel).
clang at that time (or at least when it became default for 10.0)
already was fine (with C11).

Any later gcc (4.6.0 onwards) did not need that option anymore, even
when compiled for -std=iso9899:1990 (which does not support anonymous
structs/unions) unless one would add -pedantic (see gcc git 4bdd0a60b27a).
This is also the reason why userland cddl sources now compile with the
option removed despite CSTD=c99.

The only driver which needed the option recently was ccp, but that was
fixed in 8d3f41dbcb by jhb.

So cleanup all uses cases of -fms-extensions for the moment as they are
no longer needed given all compilers currently supported seem to be
fine without them and gcc-4.2.1 was removed from the tree in stable/13
in 2020 (a9854bc381).
