For now, it was only possible to build plugins using GCC on Windows. However,
windows-aarch64 only supports Clang.
This biggest roadblock was to get rid of gcc_struct attribute, which is not
supported by Clang. After investigation, we proved it was safe to drop it.

Built and tested on Windows (all msys env)/Linux/MacOS for x86_64 and aarch64
hosts.

v1 contained warning fixes and various bits that have been upstreamed already.
The only bits left in this series are the gcc_struct removal, and fixing the
plugins build with clang.

This series is for 10.0, as we decided to not include the gcc_struct removal is
9.2 release.

v1: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20241031040426.772604-1-pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org/

v2:
- drop attribute gcc_struct instead of using -mno-ms-bitfields option
- add a section about bitfields in documentation

Pierrick Bouvier (3):
  win32: remove usage of attribute gcc_struct
  docs/devel/style: add a section about bitfield, and disallow them for
    packed structures
  plugins: enable linking with clang/lld
