[PATCH] docs: deprecated.rst: Update zero-length/one-element arrays section

["Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>]

Update information in the zero-length and one-element arrays section
and illustrate how to make use of the new flex_array_size() helper,
together with struct_size() and a flexible-array member.
