[PATCH] Remove "-Wbad-function-cast"

[Tomas Carnecky]

It's the source of many useless warnings.

It causes warnings for code like:
   int i = (int) dixLookupPrivate(...);
of which there is a lot in the xserver source. Fixing this
is not easy, as it requires to create a temporary variable
for the return value, and that is not easily possible
when such constructs are used in macros.

I also found this while googling around (originally posted
to comp.lang.c):
 ----8<----
gcc's documentation says:

`-Wbad-function-cast (C only)'
Warn whenever a function call is cast to a non-matching type. For
example, warn if `int malloc()' is cast to `anything *'.

This seems to be intended to catch the error of calling malloc()
without a prototype in scope, an error that gcc is quite capable of
catching directly (the usual message is "warning: implicit declaration
of function `malloc'"). I wouldn't use that option myself.
 ----8<----

We already warn about missing declaration (see in the patch below).
