As reported in bug 114266, GCC fails to pedwarn for a compound
literal, whose type is an array of unknown size, initialized with an
empty initializer. This case is disallowed by C23 (which doesn't have
zero-size objects); the case of a named object is diagnosed as
expected, but not that for compound literals. (Before C23, the
pedwarn for empty initializers sufficed.) Add a check for this
specific case with a pedwarn.
Bootstrapped with no regressions for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
