Subject: compiler-gcc: integrate the various compiler-gcc[345].h files

From: Joe Perches <[email protected]>

commit f320793e52aee78f0fbb8bcaf10e6614d2e67bfc upstream.

[ Upstream commit cb984d101b30eb7478d32df56a0023e4603cba7f ]

As gcc major version numbers are going to advance rather rapidly in the future, there's no real value in separate files for each compiler version.

Deduplicate some of the macros #defined in each file too.

Neaten comments using normal kernel commenting style.
