[PATCH] fbdev: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct aperture's "ranges"
0-length array with a flexible array. (How is the size of this array
verified?) Detected with GCC 13, using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

samples/vfio-mdev/mdpy-fb.c: In function 'mdpy_fb_probe':
samples/vfio-mdev/mdpy-fb.c:169:32: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'struct aperture[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  169 |         info->apertures->ranges[0].base = info->fix.smem_start;
      |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
