[PATCH] Disable -Wattribute-alias for clang-23 and newer

[Nathan Chancellor]

Clang recently added support for -Wattribute-alias [1], which results in
the same warnings that necessitated commit bee20031772a ("disable
-Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()") for GCC.

  kernel/time/itimer.c:325:1: error: alias and aliasee have different types 'long (unsigned int)' and 'long (typeof (__builtin_choose_expr((__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0LL)) || __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0ULL))), 0LL, 0L)))' (aka 'long (long)') [-Werror,-Wattribute-alias]

Disable the warnings in the same way for clang-23 and newer.

I plan to take this via my clang-fixes tree for 7.1.
