If the CRAU_MAYBE_UNUSED macro is unset, the crau.h file tries to
automatically detect an appropriate value for it.
This autodetection is using the cpp special operator
`__has_c_attribute` [1], introduced in gcc 11 [2].
When compiling with a gcc older than version 11, the compilation fails
with the error:
In file included from audit.h:22,
from audit.c:26:
crau/crau.h:255:23: error: missing binary operator before token "("
__has_c_attribute (__maybe_unused__)
^
This has been observed, for example, in Rocky Linux 8.10, which
contains a gcc v8.5.0.
The issue happens because the test for the `__has_c_attribute`
availability and the test for the `__maybe_unused__` attribute
are in the same directive. Those tests should be separated in
two different directives, following the same logic described in
the `__has_builtin` documentation [3].
This issue was found in Buildroot, after updating gnutls to
version 3.8.11 in [4].
This commit fixes the issue by splitting the test in two.
