/* If P is null, allocate a block of at least *PN such objects;
   otherwise, reallocate P so that it contains more than *PN objects
   each of S bytes.  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;
       }
