Remove redundant FTM requirements
_GNU_SOURCE implies _SVID_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE, so

Michael Kerrisk
_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated in glibc 2.20

quite precise.

_ISOC11_SOURCE implies the effects of _ISOC99_SOURCE

Note version number for _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L implies C99/C95
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L causes C95 definitions to be
exposed only since glibc 2.12 and C99 definitions only
since 2.10.
Michael Kerrisk
_XOPEN_SOURCE may implicitly define _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE
Michael Kerrisk
