-Wimplicit-function-declaration and -Wimplicit-int become errors
by default in Clang 16 (originally in 15, but we reverted it in 15.0.1).

Mention it in the release notes like we did originally for Clang 15.

+- The ``-Wimplicit-function-declaration`` and ``-Wimplicit-int`` warnings
+  now default to an error in C99, C11, and C17. As of C2x,
+  support for implicit function declarations and implicit int has been removed,
+  and the warning options will have no effect. Specifying ``-Wimplicit-int`` in
+  C89 mode will now issue warnings instead of being a noop.
+
+  **NOTE**: We recommend that projects using configure scripts verify that the
+  results do not change before/after setting
+  ``-Werror=implicit-function-declarations`` or ``-Wimplicit-int`` to avoid
+  incompatibility with Clang 16.

 - ``-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types`` now defaults to an error in all C
   language modes. It may be downgraded to a warning with
   ``-Wno-error=incompatible-function-pointer-types`` or disabled entirely with
