Nathan Chancellor 0d3fccf68d kbuild: Use '-fms-anonymous-structs' if it is available
Clang recently added '-fms-anonymous-structs' [1] to specifically enable
the Microsoft tagged anonymous structure / union extension, for which
the kernel added '-fms-extensions' in commit c4781dc3d1 ("Kbuild:
enable -fms-extensions"). Switch to this more narrow option if it is
available, which would have helped avoid the issue addressed by
commit a6773e6932 ("jfs: Rename _inline to avoid conflict with clang's
'-fms-extensions'"). GCC has talked about adding a similar flag [2] as
well but potentially naming it differently.

Move the selection of the flag to Kconfig to make it easier to use
cc-option (as CC_FLAGS_DIALECT may be used in arch Makefiles, which may
be too early for cc-option in Kbuild) and customize based on compiler
flag names.
