* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.
* doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
* generic/tclDecls.h:
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls.
* generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory
allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
* generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc,
attemptckrealloc, which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators.
* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc,
Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc,
Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc. These are used by
Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and the string obj append functions.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use
doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when
that fails. Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified
AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and
Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.
