C++ PATCH: PR 29318


This patch fixes PR c++/29318.  In this PR, we were crashing when
asked to provide a type_info object for a pointer to a VLA.  We
already issued errors about trying to provide type_info for a VLA --
but not about other variably modified types.  Since any variablying
modified type eventually requires generating a reference to a VLA, and
since the C++ ABI provides no way to have type_info for such a thing
(since it's not part of ISO C++), we should issue errors about all
variably modified types, as implemented by this patch.

Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, applied on the mainline.  I will
apply to 4.1 as soon as testing completes.
