Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and we are moving towards
adopting C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length
arrays in a couple of structures (three, actually) with flex-array
members.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [2].

Please notice we are currently using sizeof(struct ...).
Along with your proposed changes, shouldn't we also start using
the struct_size() which already take the flexible array into account?

Yep; I noticed that. :)

Not necessarily. In recent times, we don't include the struct_size
changes in the same patch as the flex-array transformation. That's
usually a follow-up patch.

okay, if that's not a problem, let's go with this for now and wait
for the follow ups.
