add MOVE_ARRAY
Similar to COPY_ARRAY (introduced in 60566cbb58), add a safe and convenient helper for moving potentially overlapping ranges of array entries. It infers the element size, multiplies automatically and safely to get the size in bytes, does a basic type safety check by comparing element sizes and unlike memmove(3) it supports NULL pointers iff 0 elements are to be moved. Also add a semantic patch to demonstrate the helper's intended usage. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
