[nf-next PATCH] netfilter: include: uapi: Use C99 flexible array member

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

Recent versions of gcc started to complain about the old-style
zero-length array as last member of structs ipt_replace and
ip6t_replace. For instance, while compiling iptables:

| In file included from /usr/include/string.h:495,
|                  from libip4tc.c:15:
| In function 'memcpy',
|     inlined from 'iptcc_compile_chain' at libiptc.c:1172:2,
|     inlined from 'iptcc_compile_table' at libiptc.c:1243:13,
|     inlined from 'iptc_commit' at libiptc.c:2572:8,
|     inlined from 'iptc_commit' at libiptc.c:2510:1:
| /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:34:10: warning: writing 16 bytes into a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
|    34 |   return __builtin___memcpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos0 (__dest));
|       |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| In file included from ../include/libiptc/libiptc.h:12,
|                  from libip4tc.c:29:
| libiptc.c: In function 'iptc_commit':
| ../include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h:202:19: note: at offset 0 to object 'entries' with size 0 declared here
|   202 |  struct ipt_entry entries[0];
|       |                   ^~~~~~~

(Similar for libip6tc.c.)

Avoid this warning by declaring 'entries' as an ISO C99 flexible array
member. This makes gcc aware of the intended use and enables sanity
checking as described in:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html
