[PATCH] usage: add NORETURN to BUG() function definitions

Commit d8193743e0 ("usage.c: add BUG() function", 12-05-2017) added the BUG() functions and macros as a replacement for calls to die("BUG: .."). The use of NORETURN on the declarations (in git-compat-util.h) and the lack of NORETURN on the function definitions, however, leads sparse to complain thus:

      SP usage.c
  usage.c:220:6: error: symbol 'BUG_fl' redeclared with different type
  (originally declared at git-compat-util.h:1074) - different modifiers

In order to suppress the sparse error, add the NORETURN to the function definitions.

Hi Junio,

This is built on 'next', which has now merged the 'jk/bug-to-abort' branch.

Thanks!

ATB, Ramsay Jones
