[PATCH util-macros 1/1] Provide a configure option to turn off the selective -Werror=... CFLAGS

Provide end users with a workaround if they find code doesn't build with
the -Werror=... flags provided by BASE_CFLAGS.  This can be useful if
newer util-macros are used with older source code that had problems, or
in the rare case when warnings are expanded to hit more cases (although
this case should not happen too much in practice).
