[OE-core] [dora][RFC PATCH 1/2] dpkg: Fix a build error for dpkg-native on CentOS 5.8.

[Mark Hatle]

From: Lei Liu <lei.liu2 at windriver.com>

Remove the -Wvla(*) flag from the set of compiler warning flags, since
gcc on ancient host systems such as CentOS 5.8 doesn't support it.

*-Wvla
  Warn if variable length array is used in the code.  -Wno-vla will prevent
  the -pedantic warning of the variable length array.
