Disable -Wattribute-alias for clang-23 and newer
Clang recently added support for -Wattribute-alias [1], which results in
the same warnings that necessitated commit bee20031772a ("disable
-Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()") for GCC.
kernel/time/itimer.c:325:1: error: alias and aliasee have different types 'long (unsigned int)' and 'long (typeof (__builtin_choose_expr((__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0LL)) || __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0ULL))), 0LL, 0L)))' (aka 'long (long)') [-Werror,-Wattribute-alias]

Disable the warnings in the same way for clang-23 and newer. Disable the
warning about unknown warning options to avoid breaking the build for
versions of clang-23 that do not have -Wattribute-alias, such as ones
deployed by vendors like Android or CI systems or when bisecting LLVM
between llvmorg-23-init and release/23.x.
