c-family PATCH to improve -Wtautological-compare (PR c/81783)

This patch improves -Wtautological-compare so that it also detects
bitwise comparisons involving & and | that are always true or false, e.g.

  if ((a & 16) == 10)
    return 1;

can never be true.  Note that e.g. "(a & 9) == 8" is *not* always false
or true.

I think it's pretty straightforward with one snag: we shouldn't warn if
the constant part of the bitwise operation comes from a macro, but currently
that's not possible, so I XFAILed this in the new test.

This has found one issue in the GCC codebase and it's a genuine bug:
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-08/msg00757.html>.  

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?
