Commit a41509bea3e7 ("libfdt: Replace deprecated 0-length arrays with
proper flexible arrays") fails to build pylibfdt:

./pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c: In function ‘_wrap_fdt_node_header_name_set’:
./pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:4350:18: error: cast specifies array type
 4350 |     arg1->name = (char [])(char *)memcpy(malloc((size)*sizeof(char)), (const char *)(arg2), sizeof(char)*(size));
      |                  ^

Turns out this is known issue with SWIG: https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/1699

Implement the work-around to ignore the flexible array member.
