bpftool: Fix build warnings due to MS extensions

The kernel is now built with -fms-extensions. Anonymous structs or
unions permitted by these extensions have been used in several places,
and can end up in the generated vmlinux.h file, for example:

    struct ns_tree {
        [...]
    };

    [...]

    struct ns_common {
            [...]
            union {
                    struct ns_tree;
                    struct callback_head ns_rcu;
            };
    };

Trying to include this header for compiling a tool may result in build
warnings, if the compiler does not expect these extensions. This is the
case, for example, with bpftool:

    In file included from skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:3:
    .../tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/vmlinux.h:64057:3:
    warning: declaration does not declare anything
    [-Wmissing-declarations]
     64057 |                 struct ns_tree;
           |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix these build warnings in bpftool by turning on Microsoft extensions
when compiling the two BPF programs that rely on vmlinux.h.
