Some GNU linkers do not set the stack as non-executable when the .note.GNU-stack section is missing.

Solves #2075. @mezzarobba

Clang yields warnings for this, and also for other things when compiling assembly files. Will fix this before merging this.

I still get the warnings:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: build/mpn_extras/x86_64/broadwell/sqrhigh_normalised_hard.lo: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
Building libflint.so.20.0.0
/usr/bin/ld: warning: build/mpn_extras_merged.lo: requires executable stack (because the .note.GNU-stack section is executable)
~/co/flint:noexecstack$

Hmm, I'll look into it. Thanks for taking the time.

Some GNU linkers do not set the stack as non-executable when the
`.note.GNU-stack` section is missing. Herein, we fix this.

Also remove some warnings when compiling assembly on Clang by removing
unneccessary/unused compiler options.

Also remove some warnings in source code.

This change yields different binaries compared to earlier for both GCC and Clang, which I suppose implies a now non-executable stack. This should work, and is what GMP does.
