In C, qualifiers for arrays are broken:
const VLC_TYPE (*foo)[2] is a pointer to an array of two const VLC_TYPE
elements and unfortunately this is not compatible with a pointer
to a const array of two VLC_TYPE, because the latter does not exist
as array types are never qualified (the qualifier applies to the base
type instead). This is the reason why get_vlc2() doesn't accept
a const VLC table despite not modifying the table at all, as
there is no automatic conversion from VLC_TYPE (*)[2] to
const VLC_TYPE (*)[2].
Fix this by using a structure VLCElem for the VLC table.
This also has the advantage of making it clear which
element is which.

Also adds a lot of infrastructure necessary for it.
Some of it is a bit ugly though.
Increases binary size for hardcoded tables by about 12 kB,
which is about 15 kB from qdm2_table minus data and code
saved that was only used for creating it.

Two macros (WRITE_ARRAY and WRITE_ARRAY_2D) take the prefix (modifiers)
(not all tables are static, and they might not be constant either), the
type, and the name of the array. It'll be copied with same name and type,
and with the correct size of the currently-defined object.

This drops one parameter from the functions' macros, and require structures
to be typedeffed, but ensures that it is possible to map 1-to-1 the type to
the function name.
