[Bug translator/3671] New: Support array size declarations

["mmlnx at us dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

Forcing every array be MAXMAPENTRIES in size is too restrictive and wasteful. 
If I know ahead of time how many elements I need I should be able to declare an
array of that size.  Right now if I need a mix of small and large arrays, I must
make sure MAXMAPENTRIES can accomodate the largest size needed, forcing all
arrays to be that size.

I realize this has been considered and may be difficult to implement. I still
think it's important to fix.  I ended up implementing some arrays in embedded C
in the socket tapset for this very reason (trying to keep the size down), not a
practice we want to encourage for script writers.
