This adds an explicit error message for [static] and [static*] 
(the same as clang has) instead of the generic "error: expected
expression before ']' token", which is not entirely accurate.
For function definitions the subsequent error "[*] can not be
used outside function prototype scope" is then suppressed.


Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64.

    C: Error message for incorrect use of static in array declarations.
    
    Add an explicit error messages when c99's static is
    used without a size expression in an array declarator.
    
    gcc/:
            c/c-parser.cc (c_parser_direct_declarator_inner): Add
            error message.
    
    gcc/testsuite:
            gcc.dg/c99-arraydecl-4.c: New test.
