5d4999951ee32e333b511245862628e80f83b703 prevector: Avoid unnamed struct, which is a GNU extension (DesWurstes)

Pull request description:

  Since we [started using](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7165) the `ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4` macro we've been passing `[noext]` to indicate that we don't want to use an extended mode, i.e GNU extensions. Speaking to Cory he clarified that the intention was to "require only vanilla c++11 and turn _off_ extension support so they would fail to compile".

  However in the codebase we are currently making use of some GNU extensions. We should either remove there usage, or at least amend our CXX compiler checks. I'd prefer the former.

  #### anonymous structs
  ```bash
  ./prevector.h:153:9: warning: anonymous structs are a GNU extension [-Wgnu-anonymous-struct]
          struct {
  ```

  This is fixed in b849212c1e.

  #### variadic macros

  ```bash
  ./undo.h:57:50: warning: must specify at least one argument for '...' parameter of variadic macro [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
              ::Unserialize(s, VARINT(nVersionDummy));
  ```

  This is taken care of in #18087.

  The `LOG_TIME_*` macros introduced in #16805 make use of a [GNU extension](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html).

  ```bash
  In file included from validation.cpp:22:
  ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
      BCLog::Timer<std::chrono::milliseconds> PASTE2(logging_timer, __COUNTER__)(__func__, end_msg, ## __VA_ARGS__)
                                                                                                    ^
  ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
  ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
  ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
  ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
  ./logging/timer.h:101:92: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments]
      BCLog::Timer<std::chrono::seconds> PASTE2(logging_timer, __COUNTER__)(__func__, end_msg, ## __VA_ARGS__)
                                                                                             ^
  6 warnings generated.
  ```

  This is fixed in 081a0ab64eb442bc85c4d4a4d3bc2c8e97ac2a6d and 612e8e138b97fc5ad2f38847300132a8fc423c3f.

  #### prevention
  To ensure that usage doesn't creep back in we can add [`-Wgnu`](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wgnu) to our compile time flags, which will make Clang warn whenever it encounters GNU extensions.

  This would close #14130.
  Also related to #17230, where it's suggested we use a GNU extension, the `gnu::pure` attribute.

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

Pre-Built Binary

For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/downloads/.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also follow the forum.
