supports compound literals in C mode since MSVC 2013 (source).
Note: According to that source, designated initialization (which is already used in plenty of places, e.g. to initialize universals and citizen governor presets) is also only supported since MSVC 2013; so if I'm reading this correctly (again, depending on the mode distinction thing from above), using compound literals wouldn't make our code any less MSVC-compatible than it was before.

Ticket details:
Continued from #43809.
Compound literals (which look similar to struct/unition initializers) are currently only used in very few places (most prominently, the requirement_fulfilled_by_* macros in common/requirements.h). We need to figure out / decide if and how we generally want to use them, and add that information to doc/CodingStyle.
