This is similar to #3353 but for automatically detected header paths.

Consider

#include <stddef.h>

#define TEST ((size_t)42)

To create a binding for TEST, bindgen uses the fallback path to parse macros. Currently though it silently fails because of the inclusion of stddef.h, which is a header provided by the compiler (at least in the case of GCC and clang on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), since the fallback parser is unaware of the location of that header. This PR makes it so that detected system header paths are passed to the fallback parser as well.

If a macro needed to be parsed using the fallback parser but the macro
used items included in a builtin header, the parsing would fail since
the location of the header would be unknown.
