meson: Enable -Wvla
QEMU has historically used variable length arrays only very rarely.
Variable length arrays are a potential security issue where an
on-stack dynamic allocation isn't correctly size-checked, especially
when the size comes from the guest. (An example problem of this kind
from the past is CVE-2021-3527). Forbidding them entirely is a
defensive measure against further bugs of this kind.
Enable -Wvla to prevent any new uses from sneaking into the codebase.
