[CMake] Disable -Wdangling-reference warnings on GCC (#157541)

This gets rid of 99 warnings which mostly seem like false positives (in
a build of LLVM+Clang+LLDB, with GCC 13).

The warnings look e.g. like this:

../lib/ObjCopy/COFF/COFFObjcopy.cpp: In function ‘uint64_t
llvm::objcopy::coff::getNextRVA(const Object&)’:
../lib/ObjCopy/COFF/COFFObjcopy.cpp:38:18: warning: possibly dangling
reference to a temporary [-Wdangling-reference]
       38 |   const Section &Last = Obj.getSections().back();
          |                  ^~~~
../lib/ObjCopy/COFF/COFFObjcopy.cpp:38:47: note: the temporary was
destroyed at the end of the full expression ‘(&
Obj)->llvm::objcopy::coff::Object::getSections().llvm::ArrayRef<llvm::objcopy::coff::Section>::back()’
       38 |   const Section &Last = Obj.getSections().back();
          |                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~

In this example, the `Object::getSections()` method returns an
`ArrayRef<Section>` from a `std::vector<Section>`. We invoke `back()` on
that, and store a reference in a local variable. Even though the
temporary `ArrayRef<Section>` has been destroyed, the reference points
to something which still is alive in the `std::vector<Section>`.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109642 and
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110358 for some
preexisting discussion on this warning and how it can be silenced
selectively since GCC 14.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
