So, new commit message is:

test: fix warning for old gcc at testgetmetrics.c

This patch fixes the regression introduced in scope of
5a61e1ab54b5c66bfebd836db1ac47996611e065 ('misc: add C and Lua
API for platform metrics').

Old gcc compiler (gcc-4.8.5-39) throws warnings like:
"error: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type
[-Werror=type-limits]", when you cast size_t value to ssize_t type and
compare it to >= 0. This leads to failing compilation with -Werror
flag.

Taking into account that this base test checks only API format, not
values by themselves, it will be enough to use (void) construction here.

Follows up tarantool/tarantool#5187

Also updated comment. See iterative patch below. Branch is force
pushed.
