Daniel Kiper c894713836 configure: Set gnu99 C language standard by default
Commit d5a32255d (misc: Make grub_strtol() "end" pointers have safer
const qualifiers) introduced "restrict" keyword into some functions
definitions. This keyword was introduced in C99 standard. However, some
compilers by default may use C89 or something different. This behavior
leads to the breakage during builds when c89 or gnu89 is in force. So,
let's set gnu99 C language standard for all compilers by default. This
way a bit random build issue will be fixed and the GRUB source will be
build consistently regardless of type and version of the compiler.

It was decided to use gnu99 C language standard because it fixes the
issue mentioned above and also provides some useful extensions which are
used here and there in the GRUB source. Potentially we can use gnu11
too. However, this may reduce pool of older compilers which can be used
to build the GRUB. So, let's live with gnu99 until we discover that we
strongly require a feature from newer C standard.

The user is still able to override C language standard using relevant
*_CFLAGS variables.

README

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
