Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang; take 2
-Wformat was recently re-enabled for builds with clang, then quickly re-disabled, due to concerns stemming from the frequency of default argument promotion related warning instances. commit 258fafcd0683 ("Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang") commit 21f9c8a13bb2 ("Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang"") ISO WG14 has ratified N2562 to address default argument promotion explicitly for printf, as part of the upcoming ISO C2X standard. The behavior of clang was changed in clang-16 to not warn for the cited cases in all language modes. Add a version check, so that users of clang-16 now get the full effect of -Wformat. For older clang versions, re-enable flags under the -Wformat group that way users still get some useful checks related to format strings, without noisy default argument promotion warnings. I intentionally omitted -Wformat-y2k and -Wformat-security from being re-enabled, which are also part of -Wformat in clang-16.
