ANSI C standard of zsh

[Clinton Bunch <cdb_zsh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was looking at the development guide and saw this:

The primary language is ANSI C as defined by the 1989 standard, but the
  code should always be compatible with late K&R era compilers ("The C
  Programming Language" 1st edition, plus "void" and "enum").  There are
  many hacks to avoid the need to actually restrict the code to K&R C --
  check out the configure tests -- but always bear the compatibility
  requirements in mind.  In particular, preprocessing directives must
  have the "#" unindented, and string pasting is not available.

5.9 does not compile with gcc's c89 on EL 8 or 9 (Rocky specifically).
I intend to test FreeBSD and Solaris as well, but haven't yet.
    
    I will point out the C99 standard is now a quarter century old. I
    propose that we update the development guide to remove the bit about
    the 1989 standard (much less K&R compatibility) since it is no
    longer true, and I personally question if it even makes sense as a
    goal 30+ years in to development.
