Fix sparse checks processing

A lot of errors are encountered when building with sparse checking
activated (make C=1 or make C=2).

Many of them are fixed in Linux.

Resynchronise Makefile and include/linux/build_bug.h with Linux
kernel sources by porting the following Linux commits into u-boot:
- 6c49f359ca14 ("kbuild: disable sparse warnings about unknown attributes")
- 80591e61a0f7 ("kbuild: tell sparse about the $ARCH")
- 8788994376d8 ("linux/build_bug.h: change type to int")
- 527edbc18a70 ("build_bug.h: remove most of dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs for Sparse")
- c60d3b79423a ("build_bug.h: remove negative-array fallback for BUILD_BUG_ON()")
- 14e83077d55f ("include: drop pointless __compiler_offsetof indirection")

Also revert commit aa9e891c63 ("include/linux/stddef.h: avoid
'warning: preprocessor token offsetof redefined'") because the
error it creates is worse than the warning it is trying to fix.

build_bug.h: add wrapper for _Static_assert

[Linux commit 6bab69c65013bed5fce9f101a64a84d0385b3946]

BUILD_BUG_ON() is a little annoying, since it cannot be used outside
function scope. So one cannot put assertions about the sizeof() a
struct next to the struct definition, but has to hide that in some more
or less arbitrary function.

Since gcc 4.6 (which is now also the required minimum), there is support
for the C11 _Static_assert in all C modes, including gnu89. So add a
simple wrapper for that.

_Static_assert() requires a message argument, which is usually quite
redundant (and I believe that bug got fixed at least in newer C++
standards), but we can easily work around that with a little macro
magic, making it optional.

For example, adding

static_assert(sizeof(struct printf_spec) == 8);

in vsprintf.c and modifying that struct to violate it, one gets

./include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "sizeof(struct printf_spec) == 8"
#define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, "" msg "")

godbolt.org suggests that _Static_assert() has been support by clang
since at least 3.0.0.

bug.h: sync BUILD_BUG stuff with Linux 4.13

As commit 84b8bf6d5d2a ("bug.h: move BUILD_BUG_* defines to
include/linux/bug.h") noted, include/linux/bug.h was locally
modified for U-Boot because the name conflict of error() caused
build errors at that time.

Now error() is gone, so we can fully sync BUILD_BUG* with Linux.
These macros are just compile-time utilities. Nothing depends on
platform code, so it should make sense to simply copy Linux's ones.

Please note Linux split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h>
by commit bc6245e5efd7. Let's follow it.
