[Xen-devel] [PATCH] use C11's _Static_assert() for BUILD_BUG_ON etc when available

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

This produces a more meaningful compiler diagnostic in case it happens
to trigger.

As a minor piece of cleanup, at once also use BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() to
actually define BUILD_BUG_ON() in the legacy case, slightly reducing
redundancy.
