LOG: [C2y] Claim nonconformance to WG14 N3348 (#166966)

This paper allows use of * in a multidimensional array extent within a
_Generic selection association, as a wildcard for any array extent.

Clang does not currently support this feature, so this is just some
initial test coverage along with an update to the conformance site.

Added: 
    clang/test/C/C2y/n3348.c

Modified: 
    clang/www/c_status.html

Removed:
