[libvirt] [PATCH] build: make broken -Wlogical-op test be gcc-only

[Eric Blake]

Commit 8b8fcdea introduced a check for broken gcc -Wlogical-op,
but did not guard the check against non-gcc compilers, which might
lead to spurious failures when another compiler encounters an
unknown pragma.  Additionally, all of our compiler warning logic
should belong in a single file, and use cache variables to allow
overriding the decision at configure time if necessary.

* configure.ac (BROKEN_GCC_WLOGICALOP): Move...
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): ...here,
and update to modern autoconf idioms.
