[PATCH v2 2/3] eal: simplify internal/experimental tags definitions

The tags definitions have become hard to read after adding support for
various compilers.
Let's reorder the definitions:
- put MSVC first, as it offers neither the section attribute nor helps
with detecting wrong use of symbols,
- then for each tag
- start with error/diagnostic tweaks for the respective !ALLOW cases,
- if no tweak is available, and for the ALLOW cases, fallback to
moving the symbol to a section,
