Core DR 393 in C++17 removed the restriction on parameters with
pointer to array of unknown bound type; accordingly, I've reduced the
diagnostic for earlier standards to a pedwarn.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.

            Core DR 393 - parameter pointer to array of unknown bound
    
            * decl.c (grokparms): Downgrade error about array of unknown bound
            to pedwarn and disable it for C++17.
