api: enforce vla is last and fixed string type

Enforce that variable length fields are the last element of API messages.

Add a 'fixed' version of string type, since dealing with
multiple variable length strings turned out too painful
for the C language bindings.

The string type is now:
{
  string name[64]; // NUL terminated C-string. Essentially decays to u8 name[64]
  string name[];   // Variable length string with embedded len field (vl_api_string_t)
};

The latter notation could be made available to other types as well.
e.g.
{
  vl_api_address_t addresses[];
}
instead of

{
  u32 n_addr;
  vl_api_address_t addresses[n_addr];
};

Type: fix
