[codeview] VLAs and unsized arrays should use a size of zero

Previously we used a size of '1' for VLAs because we weren't sure what
MSVC did. However, MSVC does support declaring an array without a size,
for which it emits an array type with a size of zero. Clang emits the
same DI metadata for VLAs and arrays without bound, so we would describe
arrays without bound as having one element. This lead to Microsoft
debuggers only printing a single element.

Emitting a size of zero appears to cause these debuggers to search the
symbol information to find a definition of the variable with accurate
array bounds.
