Tweak gdbsupport/valid-expr.h for GCC 6, fix build
With GCC 6.4 and 6.5 (at least), unit tests that use
gdbsupport/valid-expr.h's CHECK_VALID fail to compile, with:
In file included from src/gdb/unittests/offset-type-selftests.c:24:0:

archetype, TYPES>::value == VALID, \

The important part is the "error: type/value mismatch" error. Seems
like that GCC doesn't understand that archetype is an alias template,
and is being strict in requiring a template class.
The fix here is then to make archetype a template class, to pacify
GCC. The resulting code looks like this:
template <TYPENAMES, typename = decltype (EXPR)>
struct archetype
{
};
static_assert (gdb::is_detected_exact<archetype<TYPES, EXPR_TYPE>,
archetype, TYPES>::value == VALID, "");
is_detected_exact<Expected, Op, Args> checks whether Op<Args> is type
Expected:
- For Expected, we pass the explicit EXPR_TYPE, overriding the
default parameter type of archetype.
- For Args we don't pass the last template parameter, so archtype
defaults to the EXPR's decltype.
So in essence, we're really checking whether EXPR_TYPE is the same as
decltype(EXPR).
We need to do the decltype in a template context in order to trigger
SFINAE instead of failing to compile.
The hunk in unittests/enum-flags-selftests.c becomes necessary,
because unlike with the current alias template version, this new
version makes GCC trigger -Wenum-compare warnings as well:
src/gdb/unittests/enum-flags-selftests.c:328:33: error: comparison between 'enum selftests::enum_flags_tests::RE' and 'enum selftests::enum_flags_tests::RE2' [-Werror=enum-compare]

Build-tested with:
- GCC {4.8.5, 6.4, 6.5, 7.3.1, 9.3.0, 11.0.0-
20200910}
- Clang 10.0.0
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* valid-expr.h (CHECK_VALID_EXPR_INT): Make archetype a template
class instead of an alias template and adjust static_assert.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* unittests/enum-flags-selftests.c: Check whether __GNUC__ is
defined before using '#pragma GCC diagnostic' instead of checking
__clang__.
