Robert Edmonds 8cd5f6764b protobuf-c: remove tmp_alloc and max_alloca fields of ProtobufCAllocator
i'm confused as to why these fields exist, since the typical
implementation of a "temporary alloc" would be something like alloca(),
and alloca() is usually just inlined code that adjusts the stack
pointer, which is not a function whose address could be taken.

this breaks the API/ABI and will require a note in the ChangeLog.

possibly we could revisit the idea of "temporary allocations" by using
C99 variable length arrays. this would have the advantage of being
standardized, unlike alloca().

There are two tests.

"test-generated-code" is a simple test that can easily be adapted.
"test-generated-code2" is a comprehensive test.

If you have a quick problem, hack at "test-generated-code";
but i don't want that file to be too hard to navigate,
so you must eventually add a test to "test-generated-code2".

I appreciate additional test cases!
Please submit them as issues in the tracking system, or email me.

Here are the files involved in each test:

test.proto                      Protobuf declarations for the simple test.

test.pb-c.h                     Protobuf-C generated code based on test.proto

test-full.proto                 Protobuf declarations for the exhaustive test.
test-full.pb-c.c                Protobuf-C generated code based on test-full.proto
