Gcc warns about the pattern sizeof(void*)/sizeof(void), as it looks like
the abuse of a pattern to calculate the array size. This pattern appears
in the unevaluated part of the ternary operator in _INTC_ARRAY if the
parameter is NULL.

The replacement uses an alternate approach to return 0 in case of NULL
which does not generate the pattern sizeof(void*)/sizeof(void), but still
emits the warning if _INTC_ARRAY is called with a nonarray parameter.

This patch is required for successful compilation with -Werror enabled.

The idea to use _Generic for type distinction is taken from Comment #7
inhttps://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108483  by Jakub Jelinek

History:
v5:
   - Cleanly generated the patch
v4:
   - Put the case distinction into the numerator instead of the denominator
   - Refactor the case disctinction into a second macro
v3:
   - I had a stern discussion with Thunderbird about not mangling the
     space characters in my email, and I hope spaces get sent as standard
     spaces now
v2:
   - improve title and remove mostly redundant first sentence of the
     description
   - adjust formatting of the _Generic construction
