[PATCH 04/10] vla: enable sizeof operator for indirection


This patch enables the sizeof operator for indirections:

1| void foo (size_t n) {
2|   int vla[n];
3|   int *vla_ptr = &vla;
4| }

(gdb) p sizeof(*vla_ptr)

yields N.

	* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof): Create a indirect value and
	retrieve the dynamic type size.
