compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.
