compiler/compiler-gcc: Add __fallthrough

Commit Message

Joe Perches Feb. 10, 2017, 5:08 p.m. UTC

gcc v7.0 can warn on missing break statements from case labels
using a special __attribute__((fallthrough))__ marker.

Add a __fallthrough convenience macro for gcc versions >= 7 and
make the generic use of __fallthrough a no-op.
