The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Refactor handling of P2P specific action frames. Make use of 'struct' to
handle the P2P frames instead of manipulating using 'buf' pointer.

Remove the use of vendor specific IE parameter to decide
p2p_GO/p2p_Client roles between two 'wilc' device. Previously p2p group
formation between two 'wilc' device make use of vendor IE for roles
decision. The role is decided based on the 'go_intent' value.

Remove 'wilc_' prefix from filenames, the driver is already present
inside the 'wilc1000' directory so no need to add 'wilc_' in
filenames.
