[Bug c++/12479] [3.4 only] System header should not cause -pedantic to error about "extra `;'"

["mmitchel at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Zack is correct that G++ mishandles -pedantic.  It's current behavior (with the
additional complication of -fpermissive) is neither necessary nor concistent
with the C front end.  

The current situation is a way of avoiding having to go through and analyze
every "pedwarn" in G++ to decide whether to make it into:

  if (pedantic) pedwarn (...)

or:

  error (...)

At this point, it would probably just make sense to deprecate -fpermissive, and
make all uses of "pedwarn" in the C++ front end that are not guarded by "if
(pedantic)" into "error" calls.

Meanwhile, I will make the particular pedwarn in question conditional on
!in_system_header, which makes sense anyhow.
