compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unused

__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly.  It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.

__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros.  Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.

No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.

__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

* Allow us to avoid 'defined but not used' warnings on functions and data,

* As of gcc 3.3, static functions that are not marked with attribute((used))

* As of gcc 3.4, static functions that are not marked with attribute((used))

* NOTE: Because distributions shipped with a backported unit-at-a-time
* compiler in gcc 3.3, we must define __used to be __attribute__((used))
* for gcc >=3.3 instead of 3.4.
*
* In prior versions of gcc, such functions and data would be emitted, but
* would be warned about except with attribute((unused)).
*
* Mark functions that are referenced only in inline assembly as __used so
* the code is emitted even though it appears to be unreferenced.
