clang-cl doesn't define __GNUC__. Also for some reason, clang-cl doesn't
like the use of MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF on a function definition (while clang
is apparently happy with it).

Currently, printf_stderr doesn't show up when running with ./mach run.
This is because we run with -attach-console and that redirects stderr
to a different file descriptor using freopen in UseParentConsole.
The change from just using stderr directly happened in bug 340443 and was done
to avoid some linking issues. That problem doesn't seem to apply anymore so you'd
expect we'd be able to go back to the straightforward implemention that works even
if stderr has been redirected. Unfortunately, Windows takes not buffering
stderr very seriously and fprintf will write out the results character
by character. This can cause log output lines to be intermixed which
breaks log parsing in CI. We keep using fdopen to create a new FILE*
that's buffered but instead of hard coding fd 2, we get the actual fd
that corresponds to stderr using fileno.
The mozglue implementation was cargo culted from xpcom, so we update it
as well.

In the tree we have two copies of printf_stderr() with the comment,
"Ideally this should be shared". This moves the function to a new exported
header which can be the basis for other similar debugging utility functions.
To include it,
#include "mozilla/glue/Debug.h"
A small concern with this is that printf_stderr() is in the global namespace,
and could conflict if it's inadvertently included along with, for example,
nsDebug.h which also defines this function. The warning in the comment at the
top of the file attempts to mitigate this.
