MSVC does not support zero-size array unless it is the last member of
a defined structure.

The error is hit only on MSVC 64 bit because the size of
uint64_t is equal with sizeof(struct tun_table *).

This patch ifdef's out the pad member of the structure tun_metadata
in case we are on the MSVC 64 bit compiler.

I will let Ben take a look to see if something better can be done here.

Oh, a challenge ;-)

I sent out a suggestion for review:
