Do not abort when there is #ifdef in macro expansion list #572

Description

@danmar

Example code:

#define dostuff(X) X

dostuff(
#ifdef A
    1
#endif
    -1
)

simplecpp writes an error message and aborts:

1.c:5: syntax error: failed to expand 'dostuff', it is invalid to use a preprocessor directive as macro parameter

This error message is correct and it's great that simplecpp warns for this.

But customers don't like that simplecpp aborts. Compilers will typically preprocess it without warnings. gcc preprocess it to 1-1 if A is defined, and -1 if A is not defined.
