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.

Code clean-up.

* br/imap-send-simplify-tunnel-child-process:
  imap-send: simplify v_issue_imap_cmd() and get_cmd_result() using starts_with()
  imap-send.c: imap_folder -> imap_server_conf.folder
  git-imap-send: simplify tunnel construction

The API to allocate the structure to keep track of commit
decoration was cumbersome to use, inviting lazy code to
overallocate memory.

* jk/name-decoration-alloc:
  log-tree: use FLEX_ARRAY in name_decoration
  log-tree: make name_decoration hash static
  log-tree: make add_name_decoration a public function

"git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying
the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index.

* jn/unpack-trees-checkout-m-carry-deletion:
  checkout -m: attempt merge when deletion of path was staged
  unpack-trees: use 'cuddled' style for if-else cascade
  unpack-trees: simplify 'all other failures' case

Fix a couple of "accumulate into a sorted list" to "accumulate and
then sort the list".

* rs/list-optim:
  walker: avoid quadratic list insertion in mark_complete
  sha1_name: avoid quadratic list insertion in handle_one_ref

With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
an on-stack buffer.

* jk/fast-import-fixes:
  fast-import: fix buffer overflow in dump_tags
  fast-import: clean up pack_data pointer in end_packfile

After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
to prune them.

* jk/prune-top-level-refs-after-packing:
  pack-refs: prune top-level refs like "refs/foo"

Teach a few codepaths to punt (instead of dying) when large blobs
that would not fit in core are involved in the operation.

* nd/large-blobs:
  diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects
  diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binary
  diff.c: allow to pass more flags to diff_populate_filespec
  sha1_file.c: do not die failing to malloc in unpack_compressed_entry
  wrapper.c: introduce gentle xmallocz that does not die()
