type: add c99 variable length array support

The dwarf standard allow certain attributes to be expressed as dwarf
expressions rather than constants. For instance upper-/lowerbound attributes.
In case of a c99 variable length array the upperbound is a dynamic attribute.

With this change c99 vla behave the same as with static arrays.

1| void foo (size_t n) {
2|   int ary[n];
3|   memset(ary, 0, sizeof(ary));
4| }

(gdb) print ary
$1 = {0 <repeats 42 times>}
