Update ECLAIR configuration of MISRA C:2012 Rule 8.3 to deviate
violations involving parameter name "unused":
it makes explicit the intention of not using the parameter within
the function.

Before writing this, did you consider what is going to happen when a function happens to have more than one unused parameter? They can't all be named "unused", so some flexibility is needed here. E.g. by permitting a number to be appended. Jan
