The '%tu'/'%td' as formatting specifiers have been used to print out the
NSInteger/NSUInteger values for a long time. Typically their ABI matches, but that's
not the case on watchOS. The ABI difference boils down to the following:
- Regular 32-bit darwin targets (like armv7) use 'ptrdiff_t' of type 'int',
which matches 'NSInteger'.
- WatchOS arm target (armv7k) uses 'ptrdiff_t' of type 'long', which doesn't
match 'NSInteger' of type 'int'.
Because of this ABI difference these specifiers trigger -Wformat warnings only
for watchOS builds, which is really inconvenient for cross-platform code.
This patch avoids this -Wformat warning for '%tu'/'%td' and NS[U]Integer only,
and instead uses the new -Wformat-pedantic warning that JF introduced in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D47290. This is acceptable because Darwin guarantees that,
despite the watchOS ABI differences, sizeof(ptrdiff_t) == sizeof(NS[U]Integer),
and alignof(ptrdiff_t) == alignof(NS[U]Integer) so the warning is therefore noisy
for pedantic reasons.
I'll update public documentation to ensure that this behaviour is properly
communicated.

Summary:
Pick D42933 back up, and make NSInteger/NSUInteger with %zu/%zi specifiers on Darwin warn only in pedantic mode. The default -Wformat recently started warning for the following code because of the added support for analysis for the '%zi' specifier.
NSInteger i = NSIntegerMax;
NSLog(@"max NSInteger = %zi", i);
The problem is that on armv7 %zi is 'long', and NSInteger is typedefed to 'int' in Foundation. We should avoid this warning as it's inconvenient to our users: it's target specific (happens only on armv7 and not arm64), and breaks their existing code. We should also silence the warning for the '%zu' specifier to ensure consistency. This is acceptable because Darwin guarantees that, despite the unfortunate choice of typedef, sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(NS[U]Integer), the warning is therefore noisy for pedantic reasons. Once this is in I'll update public documentation.
