include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive
Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc
compilers.
Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't
added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER.
This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a
certain version of GCC. This broke when upgrading the minimal version
of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and
Clang claim to be.
Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or
redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's
separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually
exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared
definitions in compiler_types.h.
