Drop C-style arrays from generated structs

TLDR:
Change replaces the following fields in structs generated from
JSON:
  - const TYPE* array_name
  - size_t array_name_size
with
  - const base::span<const TYPE> array_name
and removes some unsafe buffer usage warning suppression pragmas.

This change proposes replacing pointer-and-length struct fields with
their base::span<> equivalent. The change does not entirely abandon
the C-style structs, but hides and abstracts them so that iterating
elements no longer causes unsafe buffer usage errors.

The change addresses C-style arrays in structs only, and does not
solve the equivalent case of generated collections encompassing all
JSON elements (such as `kAllEngines`). For that reason many pragma
statements could not be removed yet.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure.

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
