The point of DEVELOPER=1 is to turn up the warnings so we can catch
portability or correctness mistakes at the compiler level. But since
modern compilers tend to default to modern standards like gnu17, we
might miss warnings about older standards, even though we expect Git to
build with compilers that use them.
So it's helpful for developer builds to set the -std argument to our
lowest-common denominator. Traditionally this was c89, but since we're
moving to assuming c99 in 7bc341e21b (git-compat-util: add a test
balloon for C99 support, 2021-12-01) that seems like a good spot to
land. And as explained in that commit, we want "gnu99" because we still
want to take advantage of some extensions when they're available.
The new argument kicks in only for clang and gcc (which we know to
support "-std=" and "gnu" standards). And only for compiler versions
which default to a newer standard. That will avoid accidentally
silencing any build problems that non-developers would run into on older
compilers that default to c89.
My digging found that the default switched to gnu11 in gcc 5.1.0.
Clang's documentation is less clear, but has done so since at least
clang-7. So that's what I put in the conditional here. It's OK to err on
the side of not-enabling this for older compilers. Most developers (as
well as CI) are using much more recent versions, so any warnings will
eventually surface.
A concrete example is anonymous unions, which became legal in c11.
Without this patch, "gcc -pedantic" will not complain about them, but
will if we add in "-std=gnu99".

The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.
We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.
Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.
Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.
Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.
For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.
Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.
In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.

The change in f652672 (dir: select directories correctly, 2021-09-24)
caused a regression in directory-based matches with non-cone-mode
patterns, especially for .gitignore patterns. A test is included to
prevent this regression in the future.
The commit ed495847 (dir: fix pattern matching on dirs, 2021-09-24) was
reverted in 5ceb663 (dir: fix directory-matching bug, 2021-11-02) for
similar reasons. Neither commit changed tests, and tests added later in
the series continue to pass when these commits are reverted.
