curl-compilers.m4: disable warning spam with Cygwin's clang

When building with Cygwin or MinGW, libtool uses a wrapper executable
instead of a wrapper script [1], which is written in C and throws
missing-variable-declarations warnings. Don't enable these warnings on
Cygwin and MinGW in order to avoid warnings for every executable built,
which spams the test suite output when using Cygwin's clang.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1665
