This is related to the C++ compatibility work in [0].
This patch proposes to use the standard C23 and C++ attributes
[[nodiscard]], [[noreturn]], and [[maybe_unused]], if available.
The immediate practical impact is that for pg_noreturn, we can drop the
GCC-specific and MSVC-specific fallbacks, because the C11 and the C++
implementation will now cover all required cases.
For the other two attributes, this makes them available in not-GCC-
compatible compilers that support C23 as well as in C++. This set is
theoretical at the moment, but it might become more practical if either
MSVC gets some C23 support or we improve the support for C++ extensions
with MSVC (see also [0]).

This has been committed. Note that the C++ extension support with MSVC
exists now, so this patch has some utility for that.
