disable gcc's __attribute__((warn_unused_result))

Casting to (void) to discard a function return value doesn't satisfy
gcc's -Wunused-result (which we aren't enabling but is apparently
being activated for particular functions by glibc header files).  Turn
it into a no-op to suppress three dozen warnings from Travis builds.
