[XEN PATCH v2] xen/include: avoid undefined behavior.



Redefine BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO to fully comply with C99 avoiding
undefined behavior 58 ("A structure or union is defined as
containing no named members (6.7.2.1)."

The chosen ill-formed construct is a negative bitwidth in a
bitfield within a struct containing at least one named member,
which prevents the UB while keeping the semantics of the construct
for any memory layout of the struct (this motivates the
"sizeof(unsigned) * 8" in the definition of the macro).

Changes in V2:
- Avoid using a VLA as the compile-time assertion
