maint: modernize GCC warning configuration

* configure.ac: Simplify the setup of GCC’s -W... options,
by removing options no longer needed for GCC 15 (when
configuring with --enable-gcc-warnings) or GCC 12 (without).
I hope this is good enough nowadays.
Add GCC 15’s -Wtrailing-whitespace, since that works for us.
