works correctly even when SIZE_MAX < N.
By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size
calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is
SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value.
However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where
sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t), so do not bother to test for
exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and
branch when S is known to be 1. */

otherwise, reallocate P so that it contains more than *PN objects
each of S bytes. *PN must be nonzero unless P is null, and S must
be nonzero. Set *PN to the new number of objects, and return the
pointer to the new block. *PN is never set to zero, and the
returned pointer is never null.
Repeated reallocations are guaranteed to make progress, either by
allocating an initial block with a nonzero size, or by allocating a
larger block.
In the following implementation, nonzero sizes are increased by a
factor of approximately 1.5 so that repeated reallocations have
O(N) overall cost rather than O(N**2) cost, but the
specification for this function does not guarantee that rate.
Here is an example of use:
int *p = NULL;
size_t used = 0;
size_t allocated = 0;
void
append_int (int value)
{
if (used == allocated)
p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated, sizeof *p);
p[used++] = value;
}
This causes x2nrealloc to allocate a block of some nonzero size the
first time it is called.
To have finer-grained control over the initial size, set *PN to a
nonzero value before calling this function with P == NULL. For
example:
int *p = NULL;
size_t used = 0;
size_t allocated = 0;
size_t allocated1 = 1000;
void
append_int (int value)
{
if (used == allocated)
{
p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated1, sizeof *p);
allocated = allocated1;
}
p[used++] = value;
}
*/

size_t n = *pn;

/* The approximate size to use for initial small allocation
requests, when the invoking code specifies an old size of
