    c++, abi: Set DECL_FIELD_CXX_ZERO_WIDTH_BIT_FIELD on C++ zero width
bitfields [PR102024]

    The removal of remove_zero_width_bitfields function and its call from
    C++ FE layout_class_type (which I've done in the P0466R5
    layout-compatible helper intrinsics patch, so that the FE can actually
    determine what is and isn't layout-compatible according to the spec)
    unfortunately changed the ABI on various platforms.
    The C FE has been keeping zero-width bitfields in the types, while
    the C++ FE has been removing them after structure layout, so in various
    cases when passing such structures in registers we had different ABI
    between C and C++.

    While both the C and C++ FE had some code to remove zero width bitfields
    after structure layout, in both FEs it was buggy and didn't really remove
    any.  In the C FE that code has been removed later on, while in the C++ FE
    for GCC 4.5 in PR42217 it has been actually fixed, so the C++ FE started
    to remove those bitfields.

    The following patch doesn't change anything ABI-wise, but allows the
    targets to decide what to do, emit -Wpsabi warnings etc.
    Non-C zero width bitfields will be seen by the backends as normal
    zero width bitfields, C++ zero width bitfields that used to be previously
    removed will have DECL_FIELD_CXX_ZERO_WIDTH_BIT_FIELD flag set.
    I've reused the DECL_FIELD_ABI_IGNORED flag which is only used on
non-bitfield
    FIELD_DECLs right now, but the macros now check DECL_BIT_FIELD flag.

    Each backend can then decide what it wants, whether it wants to keep
    different ABI between C and C++ as in GCC 11 and older (i.e. incompatible
    with G++ <= 4.4, compatible with G++ 4.5 .. 11), for that it would
    ignore for the aggregate passing/returning decisions all
    DECL_FIELD_CXX_ZERO_WIDTH_BIT_FIELD FIELD_DECLs), whether it wants to never
    ignore zero width bitfields (no changes needed for that case, except
perhaps
    -Wpsabi warning should be added and for that
DECL_FIELD_CXX_ZERO_WIDTH_BIT_FIELD
    can be tested), or whether it wants to always ignore zero width bitfields
    (I think e.g. riscv in GCC 10+ does that).

    All this patch does is set the flag which the backends can then use.
