[cmake] Disable GCC 9's -Wredundant-move
Summary: This new warning (enabled by -Wextra) fires when a std::move is redundant, as the default compiler behavior would be to select a move operation anyway (e.g., when returning a local variable). Unlike -Wpessimizing-move, it has no performance impact -- it just adds noise. Currently llvm has about 1500 of these warnings. Unfortunately, the suggested fix -- removing std::move -- does not work because of some older compilers we still support. Specifically clang<=3.8 will not use a move operation if an implicit conversion is needed (Core issue 1579). In code like "A f(ConvertibleToA a) { return a; }" it will prefer a copy, or fail to compile if a copy is not possible. This patch disables that warning to get a meaningful signal out of a GCC 9 build.
