[PATCH v4 1/3] win32: remove usage of attribute gcc_struct

[Pierrick Bouvier <pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org>]

This attribute is not recognized by clang.

An investigation has been performed to ensure this attribute has no
effect on layout of structures we use in QEMU [1], so it's safe to
remove now.

In the future, we'll forbid introducing new bitfields in packed struct,
as they are the one potentially impacted by this change.
