[Buildroot] [git commit branch/next] package/libfuse3: fix build failure on Microblaze due to wrong symver attribute detection

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=7122a484b248e20714a0852e341f10adba82e713
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Add a patch to fix symver wrong detection. As explained into the patch
pending upstream[1] __has attribute() gives false positive when an
attribute is not supported[2] and this leads to assuming symver attribute
is present but it's not. This consequentely leads to build failure. I.e.
Microblaze doesn't really support it since it doesn't include elfos.h in
config.gcc that determines symver to be available.

+Subject: [PATCH] meson.build: fix wrong .symver detection
+
+As pointed here [1] __has_attribute() is broken for many attributes and
+if it doesn't support the specific attribute it returns true, so we
+can't really rely on that for this check. This lead to Buildroot
+libfuse3 build failure [2] where that shows up with:
+```
+error: symver is only supported on ELF platforms
+```
+Indeed Microblaze doesn't support ELF since it doesn't include elfos.h,
+but __has_attribute(symver) returns true.
+
+So let's substitute the #ifdef __has_attribute() with a stronger test on
+a function foo() with __attribute__((symver ("test@TEST"))).
