Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] developer: enable pedantic by default

From: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <[email-masked]>

With the codebase firmly C99 compatible and most compilers supporting
newer versions by default, it could help bring visibility to problems.

Reverse the DEVOPTS=pedantic flag to provide a fallback for people stuck
with gcc < 5 or some other compiler that either doesn't support this flag
or has issues with it, and while at it also enable -Wpedantic which used
to be controversial[1] when Apple compilers and clang had widely divergent
version numbers.

Ideally any compiler found to have issues with these flags will be added
to an exception, and indeed, one was added to safely process windows
headers that would use non standard print identifiers, but it is expected
that more will be needed, so it could be considered a weather balloon.
