The declaration of struct shfl_string used trailing fake flexible arrays
for the string member. This was tripping FORTIFY_SOURCE since commit
df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3"). Replace the
utf8 and utf16 members with actual flexible arrays, drop the unused ucs2
member, and retriain a 2 byte padding to keep the structure size the same.
