#8849: Use attribute names with underscores for GCC

------------------------------+-------------------------
 I opened a bunch of bugs like that some time ago for various Boost
 components, but apparently forgot about this one. The problem is in using
 GCC !__attribute!__ syntax, where the attribute itself is not in reserved
 namespace. GCC supports (at least since 3.3 per my testing) attributes in
 two forms: plain X, and reserved !__X!__. They don't differ in semantics,
 but the latter is unlikely to be overridden by user-defined macros (or if
 it is, it's user's fault).
