compilers: Fix has_function check for builtins

Use a single check for both cases when we have includes and when we
don't. This way we ensure three things:

1. Built-in checks are 100% reliable with clang and on macOS since clang
   implements __has_builtin
2. When the #include is present, this ensures that __builtin_func is not
   checked for (because of MSYS, and because it is faster)
3. We fallback to checking __builtin_func when all else fails
