Suppress clang's unhelpful gripes about -pthread switch being unused.

Considering the number of cases in which "unused" command line arguments
are silently ignored by compilers, it's fairly astonishing that anybody
thought this warning was useful; it's certainly nothing but an annoyance
when building Postgres. One such case is that neither gcc nor clang
complain about unrecognized -Wno-foo switches, making it more difficult
to figure out whether the switch does anything than one could wish.

Back-patch to 9.3, which is as far back as the patch applies conveniently
(we'd have to back-patch PGAC_PROG_CC_VAR_OPT to go further, and it doesn't
seem worth that).
