bug#29004: 27.0.50; Flymake should have support for fixits

[Philipp]

GCC (and various other tools) have implemented fixits for diagnostics,
i.e. human-readable and parseable hints how to fix the diagnostic,
cf. the -fdiagnostics-parseable-fixits flag at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Diagnostic-Message-Formatting-Options.html.
Emacs/Flymake should support these fixits.  For example, a command
`flymake-apply-fixit' could be introduced that would apply a fixit for
the current Flymake overlay, if one is available.
