I was thinking it would be best to keep the flexible array has "high" in
the struct as possible, as in the future more refactoring will be needed
to avoid having flex arrays overlap with other members in composite
structures. So instead of pushing into bch_val, I left it at the highest
level possible, bch_i, as that's the struct being used by the memcpy().

Eventually proper unions will be needed instead of overlapping bch_i
with other types, as in:

struct btree_root {
        struct btree            *b;

        /* On disk root - see async splits: */
        __BKEY_PADDED(key, BKEY_BTREE_PTR_VAL_U64s_MAX);
        u8                      level;
        u8                      alive;
        s8                      error;
};

But that's all for the future. Right now I wanted to deal with the more
pressing matter of a 0-sized array not being zero sized. :)

How about "v_bytes" instead of "bytes"? Or if it really is preferred,
I can move the flex array into bch_val -- it just seems like the wrong
layer...
