Reject object-related and struct-related attributes on typedefs
This commit adds a check to reject type definitions such as ``` typedef __attribute((section "foo")) int fooint; ``` GCC and Clang also reject this as an error. Without the check, the behavior is somewhat surprising: ``` fooint x; // placed in section "foo" fooint * x; // placed in default section, attribute "foo" is ignored ``` Note that the following must be accepted: ``` typedef struct { ... } __attribute((packed)) t; ``` The "packed" attribute is correctly attached to the struct type and should not be checked. This is achieved by using `attribute_of_type_no_expand` to get the attributes of the typedef-ed type, excluding the attributes carried by a struct/union or another typedef.
