[Bug c/84500] diagnostic says "array of chars" for arrays of wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t

What is interesting is the C++ front-end with that change got it right (see PR 84501). I have not looked to see if the array length can be there or not.

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84500 --- Comment #3 from Andrew Pinski --- We get in GCC 10+ (r10-464-ga9c697b88395a, same revision which fixed PR 84501): :4:18: warning: initializer-string for array of 'int' is too long 4 | wchar_t w[3] = L"abcd"; | ^~~ :5:21: warning: initializer-string for array of 'short unsigned int' is too long 5 | char16_t u16[3] = u"abcd"; | ^~~ :6:21: warning: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned int' is too long 6 | char32_t u32[3] = U"abcd"; | ^~~ So fixed enough?

I think the warning would be the most informative and the least vague if it instead used the name of the array type, and also mentioned the size of the initializer in case it's hidden behind a macro: warning: initializer-string for an object of 'wchar_t[3]' has 5 elements as long as there is a way to get at the name of the typedef. Otherwise, printing the underlying type would be an alternative.

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84500 --- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely --- Saying "chars" implies narrow characters. The standard uses "character array" for the general case.
