[bug-diffutils] enable --enable-gcc-warnings by default in a from-clone build

[Jim Meyering]

Eric did this in libvirt, and I liked it, so also in coreutils.
Finally, I'm updating all other C projects I tend to do the same thing:

Subject: [PATCH] build: default to --enable-gcc-warnings in a git tree

Anyone building from cloned sources can be assumed to have a new
enough environment, such that enabling gcc warnings by default will
be useful.  Tarballs still default to no warnings, and the default
can still be overridden with --disable-gcc-warnings.
* configure.ac (gl_gcc_warnings): Set default based on environment.
