Revert struct sockaddr from flexible array to fixed 14-byte "sa_data", to solve over 36,000 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings, since struct sockaddr is embedded within many network structs. With socket/proto sockaddr-based internal APIs switched to use struct sockaddr_unsized, there should be no more uses of struct sockaddr that depend on reading beyond the end of struct sockaddr::sa_data that might trigger bounds checking. Comparing an x86_64 "allyesconfig" vmlinux build before and after this patch showed no new "ud1" instructions from CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS nor any new "field-spanning" memcpy CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE instrumentations.
