(Original patch and commit message edited by Rudi.)
gcc-7 adds -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 to our default flag -Wextra.
This warning can be silenced by using comment /* fallthrough */
which is also recognized by other tools like coverity. There are
also other valid comments (see man gcc-7) but we consolidate this
style now.
We could have also used __attribute__((fallthrough)) but the comment
looks nice and does not need to be ifdef'ed for compatibility.
