[PATCH v3 1/7] compiler-clang: add build check for clang 10.0.1

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Wed Sep 02 2020 - 18:59:33 EST


During Plumbers 2020, we voted to just support the latest release of
Clang for now. Add a compile time check for this.

We plan to remove workarounds for older versions now, which will break
in subtle and not so subtle ways.

/* same as gcc, this was present in clang-2.6 so we can assume it works
