As of now, the only BF members showing these warnings are ayu (clang
version 4.0.1-10~deb9u2), batfish (clang version 5.0.0-3~16.04.1),
and demoiselle (clang version 5.0.1). None of those seem like
versions that anyone would use for code development anymore (clang 6.0
was released in March 2018), so I'm not feeling like these warnings
are important to silence. Let's just ignore them.

And even more so that, if it's so old it's not even in the buildfarm
anymore. I do care about -Wmissing-braces on a version developers
might use, but ...
