kbuild: Consolidate C dialect options

Introduce CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to make it easier to update the various
places in the tree that rely on the GNU C standard and Microsoft
extensions flags atomically. All remaining uses of '-std=gnu11' and
'-fms-extensions' are in the tools directory (which has its own build
system) and other standalone Makefiles. This will allow the kernel to
use a narrower option to enable the Microsoft anonymous tagged structure
extension in a simpler manner. Place the CC_FLAGS_DIALECT block after
the configuration include (so that a future change can move the
selection of the flag to Kconfig) but before the
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile include (so that CC_FLAGS_DIALECT is available
for use in those Makefiles).
