`-W<some unknown warning>` is now (by default) a warning (not a fatal error) and `-Wno-<some unknown warning>` is ignored. This is what GCC and Clang do. This commit also introduces the `unknown-warning-option` warning, so that warnings about unknown warnings can be ignored (`-Wno-unknown-warning-option`) or turned into an error (`-Werror=unknown-warning-option`). This is what Clang does. Closes: #552
