This patch makes us deal with flexible array members and global initializers correctly, thus for
struct s { int i; char c[]; } s = { 1, "01234" }; return 6 for the size of s.c instead of 0 (which is wrong, it should have been reported as -1 instead - I didn't try to fix that particular issue). For the total size of the pointed-to object we can simply use DECL_SIZE_UNIT instead of TYPE_SIZE_UNIT if it is a decl. Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, applied to trunk, queued for 4.6 (it's a wrong-code bug, but not a regression).
