Matthew Lugg a5219cd288 bootstrap: work around GCC bug
GCC bug 119085, which affects versions 13.0--15.1, is being triggered by
the C backend, resulting in a (small but critical) miscompilation in
zig2. Unfortunately, we can't really work around that bug without a
command-line flag, because the bug is sensitive to things like the order
in which `struct` types are defined.

Therefore, I have added an option to `bootstrap.c` which causes it to
pass the appropriate flag to `gcc` to disable the optimization pass in
question. This flag can likely be removed in future, once the affected
GCC versions become less common.

At least one of our x86_64-linux CI machines is using an affected GCC
version, so I also updated the relevant CI script to pass this flag when
testing no-LLVM bootstrap.

CMakeLists also has a workaround, but no user intervention is required
there: the GCC version range is automatically detected by CMakeLists.
