compat/posix.h: simplify GIT_GNUC_PREREQ() comparison

GIT_GNUC_PREREQ() uses a glibc-style bit-shift version comparison, which is harder to read than an explicit major/minor comparison. Use an explicit comparison, as in many BSD <sys/cdefs.h> headers, and drop the Linux header attribution comment because it no longer applies.
