media: venus: Replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members

One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element arrays with flexible-array
members in multiple structures, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

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].

This results in no differences in binary output.

media: venus: hfi_msgs.h: Replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Use flexible-array members in struct hfi_msg_sys_property_info_pkt and
hfi_msg_session_property_info_pkt instead of one-element arrays, and
refactor the code accordingly.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warnings:

CC [M] drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_msgs.o

media: venus: hfi_msgs.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

[media] media: venus: hfi: add Host Firmware Interface (HFI)

This is the implementation of HFI. It is charged with the
responsibility to comunicate with the firmware through an
interface commands and messages.

- hfi.c has interface functions used by the core, decoder
and encoder parts to comunicate with the firmware. For example
there are functions for session and core initialisation.

- hfi_cmds has packetization operations which preparing
packets to be send from host to firmware.

- hfi_msgs takes care of messages sent from firmware to the
host.
