Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and are being replaced with
flexible array members in support of the ongoing efforts to tighten the
FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(), correctly instrument array indexing

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member.

This results in no differences in binary output (most especially because
struct pda_antenna_gain is unused). The struct is kept for future
reference.
