WCDH: optionally omit error code for unknown compilers or compiler versions
This allows one to generate a header that will basically always work. In case an unknown compiler or compiler version is encountered it simply falls back to the unsupported case.

+WCDH_allow_unsupported
+----------------------
+
+* The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module gained the
+ ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS`` and ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS`` options
+ that allow creation of headers that will work also with unknown or old
+ compilers by simply assuming they do not support any of the requested
+ features.
