/* Resize (grow) malloced vector.
 *
 *  #define magic packed two parameters into one:
 *  sizeof = sizeof_and_shift >> 8
 *  shift  = (sizeof_and_shift) & 0xff
 *
 * Lets say shift = 4. 1 << 4 == 0x10.
 * If idx == 0, 0x10, 0x20 etc, vector[] is resized to next higher
 * idx step, plus one: if idx == 0x20, vector[] is resized to 0x31,
 * thus last usable element is vector[0x30].
 *
 * In other words: after xrealloc_vector(v, 4, idx) it's ok to use
 * at least v[idx] and v[idx+1], for all idx values.
 *
 * New elements are zeroed out, but only if realloc was done
 * (not on every call). You can depend on v[idx] and v[idx+1] being
 * zeroed out if you use it like this:
 *  v = xrealloc_vector(v, 4, idx);
 *  v[idx].some_fields = ...; - the rest stays 0/NULL
 *  idx++;
 * If you do not advance idx like above, you should be more careful.
 * Next call to xrealloc_vector(v, 4, idx) may or may not zero out v[idx].
