configure: add -Wno-gnu-folding-constant

When building with clang 12, I get:

  CC       tp.o

From what I understand, this warning simply says that the compiler did
figure out that __num_fields could be known at compile-time, so
__dynamic_len ends up as a regular static array and not a variable
length array (which is what we want).  And it warns us that this
behavior is not standard C, but an extension that originated from GNU.

So I think it's fine to ignore it, as it simply warns us that the
behavior we want happens.
