[PATCH] PR c/36750: Suppress missing field initializer warning for '= {0}'

Hello,

This patch suppresses the "missing field initializer" warning when a structure
is initialized with ` = { 0 }' in C.  Even though the PR author asks
specifically to suppress (at least) only when a trailing comma is included,
results from Google code search suggest that spelling without a comma is more
common, so the patch does not distinguish these variants.  Behavior of C++
front-end is unchanged.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-linux, OK for trunk?
