xen/common: Introduce xrealloc_flex_struct() helper macros
This patch introduces type-safe helper macros to re-allocate space
for a structure with a flexible array of typed objects.
For example, if we need to re-size the "data" array:
struct arrlen
{
size_t len;
int data[];
};
We can use the proposed macros in the following way:
new_ptr = realloc_flex_struct(old_ptr, data, nr_elem);
where nr_elem is the desired number of elements.
Subsequent patch will use this macros.
Also, while here, introduce xmalloc(xzalloc)_flex_struct() to
allocate space for a structure with a flexible array of typed objects.
