C99-C23 6.5.2.5 says: The type name shall specify an object type or an array of 
unknown size, but not a variable length array type.

Closes issue #89835 .

I ran `git clang-format`'ed my changes and ran the clang tests, which passed 
after minor adjustments to the new behavior.

I mostly implemented everything as discussed in #89835, with the exception of 
[clang/test/C/C2x/n2900_n3011_2.c](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/compare/main...J-MR-T:llvm-project:main#diff-aa2b77ff42fcd2f2c02cc456f5023e923d44e5018dd2af7c046ebdcc8cb00a4a):
 in that file I deleted the part about VLA compound literals, because the file 
relies on LLVM-IR being emitted by clang, and that wouldn't have fit with the 
rest of the file. Adding another RUN line and handling this case independently 
in that file would be an option, but it felt out of place. Of course, I'm still 
open to doing it that way, or preserving the test another way, if that is 
preferred.

As I point out 
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/compare/main...J-MR-T:llvm-project:main#diff-3c28567b5e0c77d68f174541a0b77f5a85d093f58b89cd3675ee04a550a44880R7278-R7283),
 the new behavior leads to a confusing reality brought about by the C23 
standard:
```c
int a[size] = {};
```
is valid code, while
```c
int a[size] = (int[size]){};
```
is not. As this seems to be what the standard requests, I implemented it that 
way for now.


Tagging @Sirraide and @AaronBallman as requested :).
