clang-tidy from LLVM 17.0.3 (which is in Fedora 39) includes a new
"misc-include-cleaner" warning that tries to make sure that headers
*directly* provide the things that are used in the .c file.  That sounds
great in theory but is in practice unusable:

Quite a few common things in the standard library are ultimately provided
by OS-specific system headers, but for portability should be accessed via
closer-to-standardised library headers.  This will warn constantly about
such cases: e.g. it will want you to include <linux/limits.h> instead of
<limits.h> to get PATH_MAX.

So, suppress this warning globally in the Makefile.
