We carry some vendored 3rd-party code in compat/ that does not build
cleanly with -Wunused-parameters. We could mark these with UNUSED, but
there are two reasons not to:
1. This is code imported from elsewhere, so we'd prefer to avoid
modifying it in an invasive way that could create conflicts if we
tried to pull in a new version.
2. These files don't include git-compat-util.h at all, so we'd need to
factor out (or repeat) our UNUSED macro.
In theory we could modify the build process to invoke the compiler with
the extra warning disabled for these files, but there are tricky corner
cases there (e.g., for NO_REGEX we cannot assume that the compiler
understands -Wno-unused-parameter as an option, so we'd have to use our
detect-compiler script).
Instead, let's rely on the gcc diagnostic #pragma. This is horribly
unportable, of course, but it should do what we want. Compilers which
don't understand this particular pragma should ignore it (per the
standard), and compilers which do care about "-Wunused-parameter" will
hopefully respect it, even if they are not gcc (e.g., clang does).
