Add the following new option -fstrict-flex-arrays[=n] and a corresponding

'-fstrict-flex-arrays'
      Treat the trailing array of a structure as a flexible array member
      in a stricter way.

A minor problem with this phrasing was pointed out in the review
of the Clang option: https://reviews.llvm.org/D126864#inline-1282716
It would be good to avoid it here.  (I think qualifying the sentence
by adding "for the purposes of accessing the elements of such arrays"
might be one way to do it).

 The positive form is equivalent to
      '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3', which is the strictest.  A trailing array
      is treated as a flexible array member only when it is declared as a
      flexible array member per C99 standard onwards.  The negative form
      is equivalent to '-fstrict-flex-arrays=0', which is the least
      strict.  All trailing arrays of structures are treated as flexible
      array members.

'-fstrict-flex-arrays=LEVEL'
      Treat the trailing array of a structure as a flexible array member
      in a stricter way.  The value of LEVEL controls the level of
      strictness.

      The possible values of LEVEL are the same as for the
      'strict_flex_arrays' attribute (*note Variable Attributes::).

      You can control this behavior for a specific trailing array field
      of a structure by using the variable attribute 'strict_flex_arrays'
      attribute (*note Variable Attributes::).

'strict_flex_arrays (LEVEL)'
      The 'strict_flex_arrays' attribute should be attached to the
      trailing array field of a structure.  It specifies the level of
      strictness of treating the trailing array field of a structure as a
      flexible array member.  LEVEL must be an integer betwen 0 to 3.


Since the attribute applies to just a single array declaration it
seems that its name should be strict_flex_array (i.e., singular,
without the trailing 's').

Martin


      LEVEL=0 is the least strict level, all trailing arrays of
      structures are treated as flexible array members.  LEVEL=3 is the
      strictest level, only when the trailing array is declared as a
      flexible array member per C99 standard onwards ('[]'), it is
      treated as a flexible array member.

      There are two more levels in between 0 and 3, which are provided to
      support older codes that use GCC zero-length array extension
      ('[0]') or one-size array as flexible array member ('[1]'): When
      LEVEL is 1, the trailing array is treated as a flexible array
      member when it is declared as either '[]', '[0]', or '[1]'; When
      LEVEL is 2, the trailing array is treated as a flexible array
      member when it is declared as either '[]', or '[0]'.

      This attribute can be used with or without the
      '-fstrict-flex-arrays'.  When both the attribute and the option
      present at the same time, the level of the strictness for the
      specific trailing array field is determined by the attribute.
