Hi,
The attached patch emits a more verbose diagnostic for target attribute that
is an architecture extension needing a leading '+'.

For the following test,
void calculate(void) __attribute__ ((__target__ ("sve")));

With patch, the compiler now emits:
102376.c:1:1: error: arch extension ‘sve’ should be prepended with ‘+’
    1 | void calculate(void) __attribute__ ((__target__ ("sve")));
      | ^~~~

instead of:
102376.c:1:1: error: pragma or attribute ‘target("sve")’ is not valid
    1 | void calculate(void) __attribute__ ((__target__ ("sve")));
      | ^~~~

(This isn't specific to sve though).
OK to commit after bootstrap+test ?

Thanks,
Prathamesh
