build: Turn off -Wcast-function-type
GCC 8 introduced -Wcast-function-type. It is enabled by -Wextra, which
is on the list of used compiler flags. Unfortunately, this cannot be
sanely used with the GNOME platform. It is exceedingly common practice
to specify a function as a callback that ignores some of the trailing
parameters passed to it. In fact, the following snippet that's part of
the g_list_copy_deep documentation triggers -Wcast-function-type:
another_list = g_list_copy_deep (list,
(GCopyFunc) g_object_ref,
NULL);
Disabling warnings like this is better than using #pragmas. Unlike
passing the flags through the command line, attempts to ignore
-Wcast-function-type through a #pragma will trigger -Wpragmas on older
versions of GCC, and, ironically, using G_GNUC_CHECK_VERSION to
conditionally disable it on newer compilers will trigger
-Wexpansion-to-defined, again, because of -Wextra.
In the future, it might be better to move away from -Wextra and instead
explicitly list out the desired warnings from the -Wextra umbrella.
