VPP-118: add support for variable length arrays to jvpp

* extends VPP's message definition language with the following syntax:

u32 count:
u8 array[count];

which is traslated to:

u32 count;
u8 array[0];

but now, python API representation generated by vppapigen
contains information about where the array length is stored.

* modifies existing response messages to use the new syntax
