configure: silence glib unknown attribute __alloc_size__

The glib headers use GCC attributes.  Unfortunately the __GNUC__ and
__GNUC_MINOR__ version macros are also defined by clang, but clang
doesn't support the same attributes as GCC.

clang 3.5.0 does not support the __alloc_size__ attribute:

  https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/commit/c047507a9a79e89fc8339e074fa72822a7e7ea73

The following warning is produced:

  gstrfuncs.h:257:44: warning: unknown attribute '__alloc_size__' ignored [-Wunknown-attributes]
        G_GNUC_MALLOC G_GNUC_ALLOC_SIZE(2);
          gmacros.h:67:45: note: expanded from macro 'G_GNUC_ALLOC_SIZE'
                #define G_GNUC_ALLOC_SIZE(x) __attribute__((__alloc_size__(x)))

This patch checks whether glib headers cause warnings and disables
-Wunknown-attributes if it is able to.
