René Scharfe	3ac22f82ed	add macro REALLOC_ARRAY The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable, multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer. Sometimes this is too much. Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the number of items the array can store. It can increase and also decrease the size. Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and takes care of the item sizes automatically.

add macro REALLOC_ARRAY

The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.

Sometimes this is too much.  Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store.  It can increase and also decrease
the size.  Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and
takes care of the item sizes automatically.

api-allocation-growing.txt: encourage better variable naming

The documentation for the ALLOC_GROW API implicitly encouraged
developers to use "ary" as the variable name for the array which is
dynamically grown.  However "ary" is an unusual abbreviation hardly
used anywhere else in the source tree, and it is also better to name
variables based on their contents not on their type.

Start preparing the API documents.

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.

I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.
