common: New function parse_compatibility_flags.

* common/miscellaneous.c (parse_compatibility_flags): New.
* common/util.h (struct compatibility_flags_s): New.
--

This is similar to parse_debug_flags but does not support specifying a
value.  This way we can more easily change the internal values or
re-use them for other purposes.
