stddef: Remove token-pasting in TRAILING_OVERLAP()
Currently, TRAILING_OVERLAP() token-pastes the FAM parameter into the
name of internal pdding member `__offset_to_##FAM`. This forces FAM to
be a single identifier, which prevents callers from using a FAM when
it's a nested member. For instance, see the following scenario:
| struct flex {
| size_t count;
| int data[];
| };
| struct foo {
| int hdr_foo;
| struct flex f;
| };
| struct composite {
| struct foo hdr;
| int data[100];
| };
In this case, it'd be useful if TRAILING_OVERLAP() could be used in
the following way:
| struct composite {
| TRAILING_OVERLAP(struct foo, hdr, f.data,
| int data[100];
| );
| };
However, this is not current possible due to the token concatenation
in `__offset_to_##FAM`, which fails when FAM contains a dot.
So, remove token-pasting and use the fixed internal name
`__offset_to_FAM` and, with this, expand the capabilities of
TRAILING_OVERLAP(). :)
