This addresses post-commit review feedback from someone who discovered that we
diagnosed code like the following:
```
struct S {
int len;
const char fam[];
} s;
```
despite it being invalid to initialize the flexible array member.
Note, this applies to flexible array members and zero-sized arrays at the end
of a structure (an old-style flexible array member), but it does not apply to
one-sized arrays at the end of a structure because those do occupy storage that
can be initialized.
