Re: [libvirt PATCH] Do not disable incompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers

This reverts commit b3710e9a2af402a2b620de570b062294e11190eb. That check is very valuable for our code, but it causes issue with glib >= 2.67.0 when building with clang. The reason is a combination of two commits in glib, firstly fdda405b6b1b which adds a g_atomic_pointer_{set,get} variants that enforce stricter type checking (by removing an extra cast) for compilers that support __typeof__, and commit dce24dc4492d which effectively enabled the new variant of glib's atomic code for clang. This will not be necessary when glib's issue #600 [0] (8 years old) is fixed. Thankfully, MR #1719 [1], which is supposed to deal with this issue was opened 3 weeks ago, so there is a slight sliver of hope.
