uapi: stddef.h: Fix __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY for C++
__DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(T, member) macro expands to
	struct {
		struct {} __empty_member;
		T member[];
	};
which is subtly wrong in C++ because sizeof(struct{}) is 1 not 0,
changing UAPI structures layouts.
This can be fixed by expanding to
	T member[];
Now g++ doesn't like "T member[]" either, throwing errors on
the following code:
	struct S {
		union {
			T1 member1[];
			T2 member2[];
		};
	};
or
	struct S {
		T member[];
	};
Use "T member[0];" which seems to work and does the right thing wrt
structure layout.
