<summary>Changes</summary>
Reland of #<!-- -->206123, which was reverted in #<!-- -->207848.
What has changed since:
- flang-rt occurrences are fixed in #<!-- -->207979
- openmp had one more occurrence which is fixed in #<!-- -->207983
- The remaining -Wunused-template hits anywhere in CI logs are the tsan Go runtime warnings, which are warnings only (buildgo.sh does not use -Werror on Linux)
Marked as draft until #<!-- -->207979 and #<!-- -->207983 land.
Closes #<!-- -->202945

+- `-Wunused-template` is now part of `-Wunused` (which is enabled by `-Wall`).
+ It diagnoses unused function and variable templates with internal linkage,

- Added `-Wlifetime-safety` to enable lifetime safety analysis,
