alloc: make VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT safer
VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT(array, size, elem) was not safe if the expression for 'size' had side effects. While no one in the current code base was trying to pass side effects, we might as well be robust and explicitly document our intentions. * src/util/viralloc.c (virInsertElementsN): Add special case. * src/util/viralloc.h (VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT): Use it. (VIR_ALLOC, VIR_ALLOC_N, VIR_REALLOC_N, VIR_EXPAND_N) (VIR_RESIZE_N, VIR_SHRINK_N, VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT) (VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT, VIR_ALLOC_VAR, VIR_FREE): Document which macros are safe in the presence of side effects. * docs/hacking.html.in: Document this. * HACKING: Regenerate.
