compilers/c: Log that MSVC doesn't support gnu stds

Since the current approach of demoting to the nearest C standard *might*
work, but might not. For projects like Glib that detect which standard
is used and fall back this is fine. For projects like libdrm that only
work with gnu standards, this wont. We're nog tusing a warning because
this shouldn't be fatal if --meson-fatal-warnings is used. Also demote a
similar message in IntelCl from warning to log.
