Based on post-commit review discussion on
2bd8493847 with Richard Smith.
Other uses of forcing HasEmptyPlaceHolder to false seem OK to me -
they're all around pointer/reference types where the pointer/reference
token will appear at the rightmost side of the left side of the type
name, so they make nested types (eg: the "int" in "int *") behave as
though there is a non-empty placeholder (because the "*" is essentially
the placeholder as far as the "int" is concerned).
This was originally committed in 277623f4d5
Reverted in f9ad1d1c77 due to breakages
outside of clang - lldb seems to have some strange/strong dependence on
"char [N]" versus "char[N]" when printing strings (not due to that name
appearing in DWARF, but probably due to using clang to stringify type
names) that'll need to be addressed, plus a few other odds and ends in
other subprojects (clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, etc).
Looks like lldb has some issues with this - somehow it causes lldb to
treat a "char[N]" type as an array of chars (prints them out
individually) but a "char [N]" is printed as a string. (even though the
DWARF doesn't have this string in it - it's something to do with the
string lldb generates for itself using clang)
This reverts commit 277623f4d5.

Allow Obj-C ivars with incomplete array type but only as the last ivar.
Also add a requirement for ivars that contain a flexible array member to
be at the end of class too. It is possible to add in a subclass another
ivar at the end but we'll emit a warning in this case. Also we'll emit a
warning if a variable sized ivar is declared in class extension or in
implementation because subclasses won't know they should avoid adding
new ivars.
In ARC incomplete array objects are treated as __unsafe_unretained so
require them to be marked as such.
Prohibit synthesizing ivars with flexible array members because order of
synthesized ivars is not obvious and tricky to control. Spelling out
ivar explicitly gives control to developers and helps to avoid surprises
with unexpected ivar ordering.
For C and C++ changed diagnostic to tell explicitly a field is not the
last one and point to the next field. It is not as useful as in Obj-C
but it is an improvement and it is consistent with Obj-C. For C for
unions emit more specific err_flexible_array_union instead of generic
err_field_incomplete.
