In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. Use struct_group() in struct cp2112_string_report around members report, length, type, and string, so they can be referenced together. This will allow memcpy() and sizeof() to more easily reason about sizes, improve readability, and avoid future warnings about writing beyond the end of report. "pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to struct cp2112_string_report. "objdump -d" shows no meaningful object code changes (i.e. only source line number induced differences.)
