Ignoring unrecognized attributes (redux)

[oddhack]

We are getting this ash-generate CI error in the internal vulkan spec repo again (see e.g. https://gitlab.khronos.org/vulkan/vulkan/-/jobs/658141), which spreads out to affect more branches as people sync up their working branches to main. They are just warnings, but unfortunate when they result in every CI job coming up with the warning label.

@MarijnS95 could you remind me where you are WRT ignoring unrecognized attributes? If not addressed this is going to keep happening as we do come up with new attributes reasonably often to convey more semantic information about API entities.

where you are WRT ignoring unrecognized attributes?

I initially went the inverse and made this a hard error in August, as we were previously ignoring it entirely which made it hard to backtrack errors: #930

As this is causing so many issues in upstream CI, I'll demote this to a more screaming error that is not actually aborting our process.

After merging and re-running the CI code generation is once again successful, but compiling still fails because of #343 (comment), which I hope to solve entirely with #952 or at the very least fix in #951.

Edit - moved to #962

@oddhack yes please, I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Don't forget to remove it from both GitHub and GitLab.
