[Bug c++/55252] Caret diagnostic doesn't show useful location when macro clashes with name in system header

You could try with this:

        /* We need to print the context of the macro definition only
           when the locus of the first displayed diagnostic (displayed
           before this trace) was inside the definition of the

.. but I still not see why we need to skip system-headers at all. The comment
in the original patch (r186970)

I am then using that facility in the diagnostics printing module and
in the macro unwinder to avoid printing diagnostics lines that refer
to the locations for built-ins or more generally for reserved
locations.  Note that when I start the dance of skipping a built-in
location I also skip locations that are in system headers, because it
turned out that a lot of those built-ins are actually used in system
headers (e.g, "#define INT_MAX __INT_MAX__" where __INT_MAX__ is a
built-in).

suggests that we do not want to give a note for the #define, but it seems a
small price to pay for getting the other cases right.
