Fails to parse some GNU attributes about frontc HOT 2 CLOSED

The long long built-in type was introduced only in C99 and FrontC supports only C89. So it is the expected behavior, see also #9.

If you want to introduce the C99 built-in types, i.e., long long, _Bool, _Complex, and _Imaginary, you need to add them to the built-in lexicon of identifiers here, e.g.,

		("long long", id LLONG);

and add the corresponding tokens (LLONG, BOOL, COMPLEX, and IMAGINARY), here. We probably also need to update the scan_ident primitive so that it accepts strings like long .. <many spaces> ..long¹, i.e., we need to strip repetitive whitespace.

Finally, we will need to deal with the ambiguity in the modifier parser that our change will introduce. As previously long long was not parsed as a builtin type, but rather than a modifier to long so that long long x; was accepted but sizeof(long long) or alignof(long long) were not.

¹⁾ Githubs markdown eats consecutive spaces even inside backticked strings, but you got the idea.

In fact, the main culprit is that gnu attributes are not allowed in a structure field definition.
