[PATCH] s390: disable -Warray-bounds

gcc-12 shows a lot of array bound warnings on s390. This is caused
by our S390_lowcore macro:

which uses an hardcoded address of 0. Wrapping that with
absolute_pointer() works, but gcc no longer knows that a 12 bit
instruction is sufficient to access lowcore. So it emits instructions
like 'lghi %r1,0; l %rx,xxx(%r1)' instead of a single load/store
instruction. As s390 stores variables often read/written in lowcore,
this is considered problematic. Therefore disable -Warray-bounds on
s390 for now until there is a better real solution.
