[AaronBallman]

This adds a new diagnostic to warn about redeclaration of a tentative definition in C. This is incompatible with C++, so the new diagnostic group is under -Wc++-compat.

   ``-Wenum-conversion`` and ``-Wimplicit-int-enum-cast``. This conversion is an
   int-to-enum conversion because the enumeration on the right-hand side is
   promoted to ``int`` before the assignment.
+- Added ``-Wtentative-definition-compat``, grouped under ``-Wc++-compat``,
+  which diagnoses tentative definitions in C with multiple declarations as
+  being incompatible with C++. e.g.,

+  .. code-block:: c

+    // File scope
+    int i;
+    int i; // Vaild C, invalid C++, now diagnosed
