2013-01-06api-allocation-growing.txt: encourage better variable namingAdam Spiers
The documentation for the ALLOC_GROW API implicitly encouraged developers to use "ary" as the variable name for the array which is dynamically grown. However "ary" is an unusual abbreviation hardly used anywhere else in the source tree, and it is also better to name variables based on their contents not on their type.

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.
