Subject: [PATCH] [Clang] Make '-Wglobal-constructors` work on the GNU
 attributes

Summary:
The `-Wglobal-constructors` option is useful for restricting the usage
of global constructors / destructors. However, it currently ignores the
attributes that introduce global constructors, meaning that the module
can still have ctors if `-Werror` is set. If this is intentional by the
user, I believe it would be more correct to push the diagnostic.
