-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()`
helper to create a new tagged `struct iwl_tx_cmd_hdr`. This structure
groups together all the members of the flexible `struct iwl_tx_cmd`
except the flexible array.
As a result, the array is effectively separated from the rest of the
members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structure.
We then change the type of the middle struct members currently causing
trouble from `struct iwl_tx_cmd` to `struct iwl_tx_cmd_hdr`.
We also want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the
flexible structure, they are always included within the newly created
tagged struct. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the
memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct
is the same after any changes.
This approach avoids having to implement `struct iwl_tx_cmd_hdr`
as a completely separate structure, thus preventing having to maintain
two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door
to potential bugs in the future.
We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible-array
member, if necessary.
Worth mentioning is that the union at the end of the flexible structure
was replaced by a direct declaration of flexible-array member `hdr[]`
as `payload` is unnecessary.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:
