Stringify support commas v2

#define MYDEF a, b, c

__stringify(MYDEF) should be replaced by "a, b, c", but compilation fails because the __stringify macro expects only one argument. Fix it by using variable macro arguments in __stringify and __stringify_1.

Needed in my current NMI safe iret paravirt support work so I can expand a macro containing assembly code into a string.

Since some architectures still use -traditional, which does not support macros with variable arguments, keep the old stringify around. Test with __STDC__ to see if -traditional is used.
