Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are

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=]

       |                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  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].

Flexible array member is even consistent with the rest of our uapi, pushed to drm-intel-gt-next, thanks!
