Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and we are moving towards
adopting C99 flexible-array members instead. So, replace zero-length
array declaration in struct u_boot_env_image_broadcom with flex-array
member.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [2].

I also handled this issue in my [PATCH V2 4/6] nvmem: u-boot-env: convert to layout driver https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230111073102.8147-4-zajec5@gmail.com/
