Summary:
After https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9515 added a unique_ptr to Status, we see some
warnings-as-error in some internal builds like this:
```
stderr: rocksdb/src/db/compaction/compaction_job.cc:2839:7: error:
offset of on non-standard-layout type 'struct CompactionServiceResult'
[-Werror,-Winvalid-offsetof]
{offsetof(struct CompactionServiceResult, status),
^ ~~~~~~
```
I see three potential solutions to resolving this:
* Expand our use of an idiom that works around the warning (see offset_of
functions removed in this change, inspired by
https://gist.github.com/graphitemaster/494f21190bb2c63c5516) However,
this construction is invoking undefined behavior that assumes consistent
layout with no compiler-introduced indirection. A compiler incompatible
with our assumptions will likely compile the code and exhibit undefined
behavior.
* Migrate to something in place of offset, like a function mapping
CompactionServiceResult* to Status* (for the `status` field). This might
be required in the long term.
* **Selected:** Use our new C++17 dependency to use offsetof in a well-defined way
when the compiler allows it. From a comment on
https://gist.github.com/graphitemaster/494f21190bb2c63c5516:
> A final note: in C++17, offsetof is conditionally supported, which

The C++17 semantics are confirmed on
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/offsetof, so we can suppress the
warning as long as we accept that we might run into a compiler that
rejects the code, and at that point we will find a solution, such as
the more intrusive "migrate" solution above.
Although this is currently only showing in our buck build, it will
surely show up also with make and cmake, so I have updated those
configurations as well.
Also in the buck build, -Wno-expansion-to-defined does not appear to be
needed anymore (both current compiler configurations) so I
removed it.

Test Plan: Tried out buck builds with both current compiler configurations
