Subject: [PATCH][next] drm/i915/uapi: Replace fake flex-array with
 flexible-array member

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Address the following warning found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.c: In function ‘set_proto_ctx_engines.isra’:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.c:769:41: warning: array subscript n is outside array bounds of ‘struct i915_engine_class_instance[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
  769 |                 if (copy_from_user(&ci, &user->engines[n], sizeof(ci))) {
      |                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h:2494:43: note: while referencing ‘engines’
 2494 |         struct i915_engine_class_instance engines[0];

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 [1].
