`c_variadic`: Add future-incompatibility warning for `...` arguments without a pattern outside of `extern` blocks
This PR makes `...` arguments without a pattern in non-foreign functions (such as the argument in `unsafe extern "C" fn f(...) {}`) a future-compatibility warning; making this error would be consistent with how `unsafe extern "C" fn f(u32) {}` is handled. Allowing `...` arguments without a pattern in non-foreign functions is a source of confusion for programmers coming from C, where the `...` parameter is never named and instead calling `va_start` is required; disallowing `...` arguments without a pattern also improves the overall consistency of the Rust language by matching the treatment of other arguments without patterns. `...` arguments without a pattern in `extern` blocks (such as `unsafe extern "C" { fn f(...); }`) continue to compile without warnings after this PR, as they are already stable and heavily used (and don't cause the mentioned confusion as they are just being used in function declarations).
As all the syntax gating for `c_variadic` has been done post-expansion, this is technically a breaking change. In particular, code like this has compiled on stable since Rust 1.35.0:
```rust
#[cfg(any())] // Equivalent to the more recent #[cfg(false)]
unsafe extern "C" fn bar(_: u32, ...) {}
```
Since this is more or less a stability hole and a Crater run shows only the `binrw` crate is using this, I think it would be ok to break this. This will require a lang FCP.
The idea of rejecting `...` pre-expansion was first raised here https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143546#issuecomment-3043142052.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
