Jeroen Ketema dee0f09197 C++: Cover variable sized member arrays without a size in Buffer.qll
Currently the extractor incorrectly emits 0 for the array `data` below:
```
struct myStruct { // c
   ...
   char data[]; // v
};
```
This will change in the future, and  no size will be emitted anymore.
This commit makes sure `Buffer.qll` handles arrays without sizes.

* Holds if `v` is a member variable of `c` that looks like it might be variable sized
* in practice. For example:
* ```
* struct myStruct { // c
* int amount;
* char data[1]; // v
* };
* ```
* or
* ```
* struct myStruct { // c
* int amount;
* char data[]; // v
* };
* ```
* This requires that `v` is an array of size 0 or 1, or that the array has no size.
