This would hopefully fix some comctl32 test failures which started happening after I changed my nightly winetest runs to build Wine with Clang.
-- v4: winegcc: Force default subsystem version to 6.0. user32/tests: Force console subsystem version 5.2. quartz/tests: Force console subsystem version 5.2. dxgi/tests: Force console subsystem version 5.2. comctl32/tests: Force console subsystem version 5.2. winegcc: Set the default subsystem to console. winegcc: Consistently use the subsystem option with Clang and MinGW. winegcc: Support subsystem version number in link.exe-style cmdline.

v3: Reorder commits a bit, fix the typo. Override subsystem from -mwindows / -mconsole only if it was different, keep the previous value (and its eventual version) otherwise. Force default version to 6.0.

Then what if command-line is like: `--subsystem=native:4.0 -mwindows`? Shouldn't `-mwindows` take over any previously set subsystem (which it does already) *and* its version?
Right, I forgot there’s a compiler driver involved. On mingw, `-mwindows` and `-mconsole` are effectively ignored in such case (they’re passed to the linker as `--subsystem`, but since that always appears before `-Wl,...` arguments, it’s overridden when the linker processes them). While not very important, it would be easy to keep compatibility by preserving the existing command-line parsing and using `is_gui_app` to set the default subsystem right after that.
