Some compilers (including at least MSVC) supports NORETURN
on function declarations, but only before the function-name.

This patch makes it possible to define NORETURN for those compilers.

This patch requires specifying "-C 2" to "git am" to apply to the
current maint(7fb6bcf), but I suspect that it's not really needed
there. Supporting new compilers is going to require additional
patching anyway.
