[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Add -Wall -Wextra to our build, set warnings to full

[Chris Wilson]

Recently W=1 on gcc-7.2 (-Wunused-const-variable) caught a regression
that had been lurking for 6 months, so lets try enabling the full set of
warnings for CI builds. This means more patches will be rejected early
that contain trivial and sometimes not so trivial bugs. However, our
code does not yet compile cleanly with W=1, so we have to apply a filter
to the set of warnings until we can eliminate the mistakes. It also
means that developers will have to be running the full gamut of gcc to
ensure that as warnings come and go with gcc updates, we have the CI
build prepared.
