This is the first phase of addressing #11757 which aims to make C99 support a base-line requirement for GHC and clean up the code-base to use C99 facilities when sensible. This patch exploits the logic/heuristic used by `AC_PROG_CC_C99` to determine the flags needed in case the C compiler isn't able to compile C99 code in its current mode. We can't use `AC_PROG_CC_C99` directly though because GHC's build-system expects CC to contain a filename without any flags, while `AC_PROG_CC_C99` would e.g. result in `CC="gcc -std=gnu99"`. Morever, we support different `CC`s for stage0/1/2, so we need a version of `AC_PROG_CC_C99` for which we can specify the `CC`/`CFLAGS` variables to operate on. This is what `FP_SET_CFLAGS_C99` does. Note that Clang has been defaulting to C99+ for a long time, while GCC 5 defaults to C99+ as well. So this has mostly an affect on older GCCs versions prior to 5.0 and possibly compilers other than GCC/Clang (which are not officially supported for building GHC anyway).
