Case fallthrough warnings can be suppressed using the __fallthrough__
compiler attribute. Unfortunately, not all compilers have this
attribute, or even have __has_attribute to check if they have the
__fallthrough__ attribute. [[fallthrough]] is also available in C++17
and the next C2x, but not everyone uses C++17 or C2x.
So define the SDL_FALLTHROUGH macro to deal with those problems - if we
are using C++17 or C2x, it expands to [[fallthrough]]; else if the
compiler has __has_attribute and has the __fallthrough__ attribute, then
it expands to __attribute__((__fallthrough__)); else it expands to an
empty statement, with a /* fallthrough */ comment (it's a do {} while
(0) statement, because users of this macro need to use a semicolon,
because [[fallthrough]] and __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) require a
semicolon).
Clang before Clang 10 and GCC before GCC 7 have problems with using
__attribute__ as a sole statement and warn about a "declaration not
declaring anything", so fall back to using the /* fallthrough */ comment
if we are using those older compiler versions.
Applications using SDL are also free to use this macro (because it is
defined in begin_code.h).
All existing /* fallthrough */ comments have been replaced with this
macro. Some of them were unnecessary because they were the last case in
a switch; using SDL_FALLTHROUGH in those cases would result in a compile
error on compilers that support __fallthrough__, for having a
__attribute__((__fallthrough__)) statement that didn't immediately
precede a case label.

Attached three patches, so these minor os/2 bits get registered mainstream:
1. SDL_syswm.h: add SDL_SYSWM_OS2 to SDL_SYSWM_TYPE enum
2. SDL_platform.h: recognize __EMX__ too as __OS2__
3. begin_code.h: set SDLCALL as _System for OS/2.
