[PATCH] Only provide MS builtins when -fms-extensions is on

I don't have a strong objection to suppressing the MS builtins in GNU mode, and the argument for suppressing `_alloca` seems stronger than for other builtins (even though that name is reserved at global scope too). The inconsistent handling of the GNU versus MS builtins seems weird to me, though (I don't want us to end up with the MS support being a second-class citizen in the long term).
I think by going in this direction, we are (de facto) claiming the `__builtin_*` builtins as being clang builtins (rather than GNU builtins) that just happen to share a name and semantics with GCC's builtins. This doesn't seem like an untenable position, though we might want to mark some of the more heinous GNU `__builtin_*`s as `LANG_BUILTIN(..., ALL_GNU_LANGUAGES)`.

Works for me.
