We've had a few pull requests fixing format/argument mismatches
lately. I did't notice when PRINTF_F(format_index,first_arg_index)
attribute use and the checking gcc and clang do with it got removed,
but that was very useful. Putting it back triggers a whole bunch
of "format string is not literal" warnings, but that's because
'-Wformat-nonliteral' was explicitly added to the *.2020 hints.
Checking pline/You/&c arguments in the cases where the format is a
literal is more valuable than the complaints for sprintf being fed
a generated format, so reinstate PRINTF_F usage and turn off the
check for non-literal format strings.
whitelist the valid cases showing up
If an earlier version of clang is showing more cases (particularly
if they don't make sense), the re-enabling of the warning in
sys/unix/hints/include/compiler.2020 can be made clang-version
specific instead. I had no way to test earlier versions.

get the warning flags on linux and macOS into better alignment
move the compiler flags into hints/include/compiler.2020 so that
maintenance changes can be made there and take effect for both
linux and macOS
this will likely trigger some initial new code warnings to be
investigated on either or both platforms
