Implement shrinkSmallMutableArray# and resizeSmallMutableArray#.
This is a part of GHC Proposal #25: "Offer more array resizing primitives".
Resources related to the proposal:
- Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/121
- Proposal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0025-resize-boxed.rst
Only shrinkSmallMutableArray# is implemented as a primop since a
library-space implementation of resizeSmallMutableArray# (in GHC.Exts)
is no less efficient than a primop would be. This may be replaced by
a primop in the future if someone devises a strategy for growing
arrays in-place. The library-space implementation always copies the
array when growing it.
This commit also tweaks the documentation of the deprecated
sizeofMutableByteArray#, removing the mention of concurrency. That
primop is unsound even in single-threaded applications. Additionally,
the non-negativity assertion on the existing shrinkMutableByteArray#
primop has been removed since this predicate is trivially always true.
