greybus: Avoid fake flexible array for response data

FORTIFY_SOURCE has been ignoring 0-sized destinations while the kernel
code base has been converted to flexible arrays. In order to enforce
the 0-sized destinations (e.g. with __counted_by), the remaining 0-sized
destinations need to be handled. Instead of converting an empty struct
into using a flexible array, just directly use a pointer without any
additional indirection. Remove struct gb_bootrom_get_firmware_response
and struct gb_fw_download_fetch_firmware_response.
