Merlin gets invoked with the same flags as the compiler. Thus, it must know what to do with every compiler flag. Some of them it actually parses and does something with, but there's also a long list of ignored flags. Although we try to be careful about Merlin keeping these flags in sync with the compiler, it's easy to make a mistake here, and we have in the past. This PR adds a test that prints out all the compiler flags that Merlin doesn't know how to handle.
When I did this, I discovered a list of ~30 compiler flags that Merlin currently doesn't understand, which I added to the list of ignored flags.
