compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough warning capability. All switch/case blocks now should end in one of: break; fallthrough; goto <label>; return [expression]; continue; In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1, the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced. fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.
