<summary>Changes</summary>

For C++ (but not C), empty structs should be passed to functions as if they are 
a 1 byte object with 1 byte alignment.

This is defined in Arm's CPPABI32:
  https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/cppabi32/cppabi32.rst
  For the purposes of parameter passing in AAPCS32, a parameter whose
  type is an empty class shall be treated as if its type were an
  aggregate with a single member of type unsigned byte.

The AArch64 equivalent of this has an exception for structs containing an array 
of size zero, I've kept that logic for ARM. I've not found a reason for this 
exception, but I've checked that GCC does have the same behaviour for ARM as it 
does for AArch64.

The AArch64 version has an Apple ABI with different rules, which ignores empty 
structs in both C and C++. This is documented at 
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm64-code-for-apple-platforms.
 The ARM equivalent of that appears to be AAPCS16_VFP, used for WatchOS, but I 
can't find any documentation for that ABI, so I'm not sure what rules it should 
follow. For now I've left it following the AArch64 Apple rules.
