[Diagnostics] Silence -Wsizeof-array-div for character buffers

Summary:
Character buffers are sometimes used to represent a pool of memory that
contains non-character objects, due to them being synonymous with a stream of
bytes on almost all modern architectures. Often, when interacting with hardware
devices, byte buffers are therefore used as an intermediary and so we can end
Character buffers are sometimes used to represent a pool of memory that
contains non-character objects, due to them being synonymous with a stream of
bytes on almost all modern architectures. Often, when interacting with hardware
devices, byte buffers are therefore used as an intermediary and so we can end
up generating lots of false-positives.

Moreover, due to the ability of character pointers to alias non-character
pointers, the strict aliasing violations that would generally be implied by the
calculations caught by the warning (if the calculation itself is in fact
correct) do not apply here, and so although the length calculation may be
wrong, that is the only possible issue.
