Subject: [build] Workaround compilation error with gcc 9.1

Git-commit: 1dd56dbd11082fb622c2ed21cfaced4f47d798a6
References: bsc#1121464

Compiling with gcc 9.1 generates lots of "taking address of packed
member of ... may result in an unaligned pointer value" warnings.

Some of these warnings are genuine, and indicate correctly that parts
of iPXE currently require the CPU (or runtime environment) to support
unaligned accesses.  For example: the TCP/IP receive data path will
attempt to access 32-bit fields that may not be aligned to a 32-bit
boundary.

Other warnings are either spurious (such as when the pointer is to a
variable-length byte array, which can have no alignment requirement
anyway) or unhelpful (such as when the pointer is used solely to
provide a debug colour value for the DBGC() macro).

There appears to be no easy way to silence the spurious warnings.
Since the ability to perform unaligned accesses is already a
requirement for iPXE, work around the problem by silencing this class
of warnings.
