We've been setting /Wall on MSVC for a while, but /Wall in MSVC is
really "all". I.e., it's -Weverything in Clang and GCC, and includes
many warnings that are simply diagnostics. MSVC's own headers do not
promise to be clean under /Wall.
Rather, the equivalent of Clang and GCC's -Wall is /W4, which MSVC does
promise to pass. Under /Wall, every new MSVC release we've had to update
an ever-growing list of warning exceptions, to disable the
off-by-default warnings that were off for a reason. Switch to MSVC's
recommendations and just enable /W4.
From there, I've trimmed the exception list, now that we don't need to
re-disable disabled warnings. A few non-disabled warnings also no longer
need exceptions.
This should fix the build with VS2022, which was failing due to C5264.
C5264 flags a couple of instances in the library, but tons and tons in
MSVC headers and googletest. (The instances in the library are a little
goofy and reflect things that should have been 'inline constexpr', but
we can't rely on C++17 yet. Though I may go add a compat macro for
that.)
Fixed: 552
