[Cogl] [PATCH] util: simplify _COGL_STATIC_ASSERT definition

[Robert Bragg]

From: Robert Bragg <robert at linux.intel.com>

This updates the definition of _COGL_STATIC_ASSERT to just use
_Static_assert if available or be NOP if not. We no longer worry about
supporting static assertions with older compilers. This fixes some
verbose warnings that newer compilers were giving with the old typedef
based static assertion method.

  * Note: Only Gcc >= 4.6 supports the c11 _Static_assert which lets us
  * print a nice message if the compile time assertion fails.

- * Note: this assertion macro can only be used in C code where it is
- * valid to use a typedef. This macro should not be used in headers
- * because we can't guarantee a unique name for the typedef due to
- * the name being based on the line number of the file it's used in.

- * Although we can remove this limitation if the compiler supports
- * _Static_assert we currently choose to maintain the limitation in
- * any case to help ensure we don't accidentally create code that
- * doesn't compile on some toolchains because we forgot about this
