[Libosinfo] [PATCH] Disable -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations warnings

This warning option is not reporting broken code. Rather it is merely
identifying loops which GCC would not be able to optimize fully when
using -funsafe-loop-optimizations. In GCC 7 this triggers on the
loader code
osinfo_loader.c: In function 'osinfo_loader_process_list':
osinfo_loader.c:2127:11: error: missed loop optimization, the loop counter may overflow [-Werror=unsafe-loop-optimizations]
while (tmp && *tmp) {
^
The warning just needs to be turned off since the code is not broken,
and we don't care about the optimization level
