[Libwebsockets] -Wall -Werror -Wextra enabled on lws builds

Hi -
I enabled -Wextra (with one override, -Wno-unused-parameter) on main
today, since the big work earlier in the year to support -Wconversion
-Wsign-compare had already done the heavy lifting, it only required a
few fixes around oldstyle array definitions that had been leaving some
members left implied.
-Wunused-parameter is part of -Wextra, but it complains about things
that I don't think are reasonable, for example we may have a function
template and implementations that vary by platform or, eg, tls library
backend. Some implementations of particular functions do not need
parameters that others do, but we have to define the api to provide
anything that any implementation needs. The implementations that don't
reference parameters can be "fixed" by force-referencing the unused
params with (void) casts, but I don't see adding all that mush actually
achieves anything positive. So I turned that specific one off.
Since we already build with -Wall and unusually -Werror, adding -Wextra
is a pretty significant milestone, despite it did not need huge changes.
It passes all the build platforms and scenarios in Sai, now over 500
builds on 27 platforms. That covers most common toolchains, but judging
from the -Wconversion changes, there will be a handful of less common
toolchains that find new things to complain about and need fixing up.
