BaseTools: Add gcc flag to warn on void* pointer arithmetic 

By default, gcc allows void* pointer arithmetic.
This is a GCC extension.
However:
 - the C reference manual states that void*
   pointer "cannot be operands of addition
   or subtraction operators". Cf s5.3.1
   "Generic Pointers";
 - Visual studio compiler treat such operation as
   an error.

To prevent such pointer arithmetic, the "-Wpointer-arith"
flag should be set for all GCC versions.

The "-Wpointer-arith"  allows to:
  "Warn about anything that depends on the "size of"
  a function type or of void. GNU C assigns these
  types a size of 1, for convenience in calculations
  with void * pointers and pointers to functions."

This flag is available since GCC2.95.3 which came out in 2001.
