This doesn't allow whitespace between "fall" and "through", which means
we generate 217 such warnings currently. Or we can just use
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3, which does allow whitespace (among other
detritus).

For my own reference, the manual is at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.3.0/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wimplicit-fallthrough
