Silently accept -Wgnu-empty-initializer

5d8aaad
removed the warning group as the functionality is no longer a GNU
extension. However, users have asked for the warning group to be
supported so that code transitioning from Clang 16 to Clang 17 has an
easier migration path when compiling with -Werror. This patch restores
the warning group, but as an ignored warning group because the
functionality is now always considered to be a C extension rather than
a GNU extension. This allows users to do:

  -Werror -pedantic -Wno-gnu-empty-intializer -Wno-c2x-extensions

to silence the diagnostics in both Clang 16 and Clang 17.

Fixes #64357
