add DEVELOPER makefile knob to check for acknowledged warningsls/makefile-cflags-developer-tweak
We assume Git developers have a reasonably modern compiler and recommend them to enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob to ensure their patches are clear of all compiler warnings the Git core project cares about. Enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob in the Travis-CI build.

- We try to support a wide range of C compilers to compile Git with,
including old ones. That means that you should not use C99
initializers, even if a lot of compilers grok it.
