Miguel Ojeda 24efee412c Compiler Attributes: improve explanation of header
Explain better what "optional" attributes are, and avoid calling
them so to avoid confusion. Simply retain "Optional" as a word
to look for in the comments.

Moreover, add a couple sentences to explain a bit more the intention
and the documentation links.

* The attributes in this file are unconditionally defined and they directly
* map to compiler attribute(s), unless one of the compilers does not support
* the attribute. In that case, __has_attribute is used to check for support
* and the reason is stated in its comment ("Optional: ...").
*
* Any other "attributes" (i.e. those that depend on a configuration option,
* on a compiler, on an architecture, on plugins, on other attributes...)
* should be defined elsewhere (e.g. compiler_types.h or compiler-*.h).
* The intention is to keep this file as simple as possible, as well as
* compiler- and version-agnostic (e.g. avoiding GCC_VERSION checks).
*
* This file is meant to be sorted (by actual attribute name,
* not by #define identifier). Use the __attribute__((__name__)) syntax
* (i.e. with underscores) to avoid future collisions with other macros.
* Provide links to the documentation of each supported compiler, if it exists.

* sparse does not support __has_attribute (yet) and defines __GNUC_MINOR__
