Also remove bits of a comment, now that we support only macOS 10.9+, most of the
comment isn't relevant.
While PIE is enabled by default on macOS, this isn't true of clang on Linux.
--enable-pie can now be used with clang on Linux.

Since bug 1259382, CC and CXX are always set, so we can stop
falling back to cl on Windows, and clang on OSX in compiler-opts.m4.
Also, we were actively rejecting GCC on OSX because it was based on
GCC 4.2 and known to be broken, but that test predates our requirement
for more recent versions of GCC, which would fail configure anyways.
So just remove that GCC test. Building with a modern GCC from macports
or wherever might actually work anyways.
Finally, remove target bit-width mismatch with the compiler as it's
handled in python configure since bug 1288313.

Python configure is already checking that the C++ compiler is indeed a C++
compiler, no need to double check in old-configure.

Setting MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS as a define was not moved, as this value is not
checked, and exporting MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS was not moved, as this would only
impact nspr, and we're no longer using the nspr build system.

- DEVELOPER_OPTIONS, INTEL_CC, INTEL_CXX, MOZ_ENABLE_QTMOBILITY,
GTK_CONFIG are or even were never used outside configure.
- MOZ_PROFILELOCKING which gradually became a no-op over the years. This
also removes the configure flag that sets it.
- XULRUNNER_STUB_NAME is xulrunner-only, and xulrunner is gone. This
also removes the configure flag that sets it.
- The only use of MOZ_CAN_RUN_PROGRAMS was removed in bug 780561.
- AR_LIST and AR_DELETE have not been used since bug 584474.
- MOZ_COMPONENT_NSPR_LIBS is leftover from bug 1036894.
- MOZ_PNG_ARM_NEON_CHECK is not used since bug 980488.
- MOZ_WEBRTC_LEAKING_TESTS has been no-oped by bug 825510.
- VPX_NEED_OBJ_INT_EXTRACT and NO_INTEGRATED_AS_CFLAGS are not used since
bug 1151175.
- WCHAR_CFLAGS is not used since bug 904985.
compiler-opts.m4's check for `MOZ_CXX_SUPPORTS_WARNING(-W, unreachable-code-return, ac_cxx_has_wunreachable_code_return)` is broken. The C/C++ code that configure emits for MOZ_CXX_SUPPORTS_WARNING() actually contains a -Wunreachable-code-return warning and, thus, doesn't actually detect that clang supports the -Wunreachable-code-return flag.
This configure code in MOZ_CXX_SUPPORTS_WARNING():
AC_TRY_COMPILE([],
[return(0);],
$3="yes",
$3="no")
generates something like:
int main() {
return(0);
; return 0; }
where the second return, automatically emitted by configure, is unreachable and causes a -Wunreachable-code-return warning.
The fix is to remove the redundant return(0) from MOZ_CXX_SUPPORTS_WARNING(). This allows clang's -Wunreachable-code-return flag to be detected, but then -Wunreachable-code-return breaks other configure checks, including third-party libraries' configure checks (in particular jemalloc) that also have redundant `return(0)`. So all the third-party libraries' configure checks would need to be fixed upstream, which seems like more hassle than the value of the -Wunreachable-code-return warnings.
-Wno-psabi has not been necessary since we updated the build machines to Android NDK r8c three years ago in bug 826133.
-Wsometimes-initialized is not necessary because it is implicitly enabled by clang's -Wuninitialized, which is enable by -Wall.
-Wcast-align is very noisy and we apparently only enable it for gcc on 32-bit x86 builds?
-Wno-unused-local-typedef is no longer necessary. This is the clang flag; gcc's flag is -Wno-unused-local-typedefs, with an 's'. Suppressing gcc's warning was recently deemed unnecessary and WONTFIX'd in bug 1243604. Unsurprisingly, we no longer need it on clang either.
-Wrange-loop-analysis is no longer necessary because it is implicitly enabled by -Wloop-analysis, which is enabled by the previous commit.
-Wsign-compare is enabled by gcc's -Wall (for C++ only), but not by clang's -Wall. -Wsign-compare is enabled for C and C++ by gcc's -Wextra and clang's -Wextra, which we don't use.
The flags added in toolkit/locales/Makefile.in turn out not to be actually
used, so just remove that.
The remaining uses of XULPPFLAGS are to set debug flags depending on whether
MOZ_DEBUG is set or not. Just set a dedicated variable with the right value
from configure.
CLOSED TREE (but for the commit above this because the commit hook only
appears to look at the tip commit)
