enables pedantic mode in as many compilers as possible to help gather
feedback on future tightening of the net, so lets do so.

-Wpedantic is missing in some really old gcc 4 versions so lets restrict
it to gcc5 and clang4 (it does work in clang3 AFAIK, but it will be
unlikely a developer will use such an old compiler anyway).

MinGW gcc is the only one which has -Wno-pedantic-ms-format, and while
that is available also in older compilers, the Windows SDK provides gcc10
so lets aim for that.  Note that in order to target the flag to only
Windows, additional changes were needed in config.mak.uname to propagate
the OS detection done there.

Just in terms of implementation, this somewhat pre-dates your change,
but every single other uname we check as a constant. I wonder if this
"findstring" is really needed under MINGW. It was added in f4626df51f6
(Add target architecture MinGW., 2007-12-01).

(Goes and seaches stackoverflow etc.)

Ah yes, it seems it'll emit e.g. "MINGW64_NT-10.0", ew!

In any case, I wonder if we should at least be better off with the
diff-at-the-end on top (untested).

And also not necessarily for this series, but IMO this sort of thing
really longer-term belongs in config.mak.uname (or maybe a
config.mak.dev.uname, ew!). Well, maybe. Anyway, looking at potentially
implementing that we get into similar ordering issues as I noted in my
2/3 comment, i.e. we'd have to hoist "COMPILER_FEATURES" over to the
main Makefile before including both.

So nevermind I guess, but aside from which variable we set/override
where (and feel very free to ignore my musings there) this change LGTM.
