Cherry-pick of KhronosGroup/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator#2743.
The LLVM-IR type of zero-length array does not seem to have a mapping into SPIR-V type, rather it outputs an error since the obvious choice of zero-length array is not valid in SPIR-V. This, for example, prohibits us from using unbounded arrays in SYCL device kernels because they are typically represented in LLVM-IR through zero-length arrays. This PR introduces a workaround to this by lowering a zero-length array in LLVM-IR to a 1-length array in SPIR-V.
