ffi: alignment bug in undimensioned arrays.
Because the varray behavior for undimensioned arrays was introduced in dubious commit 7880c9b565ab438e1bf0250a967acdbf8d04cb42 in 2017, which used make_ffi_type_pointer to register the type, claiming that the C representation is pointer (which was not true in that commit, nor ever since). As a result, though, undimensioned arrays received the alignment of pointers, rather than deriving it from the element type. Thus (array char) has 4 or 8 byte alignment whereas (array 4 char) correctly has 1 byte alignment. * ffi.c (ffi_type_compile): Use make_ffi_type_array for the two-element array syntax, just like for the dimensioned case with three elements. Then override some of the functions with the varray versions. * tests/017/ffi-misc.tl: Fix the test case which exposed this. In the type (struct flex (a char) (b (zarray char)), the array b must be at offset 1. I didn't notice that the offset of 4 being confirmed by the test case was wrong, but this showed up when running the test case on a platform with 8 byte pointers.
