Hi Martin,

I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this.

Thanks,

This rewrites the doc of ArraysSupport.newLength, adds detail to the exception 
message, and adds a test. In addition to some renaming and a bit of refactoring 
of the actual code, I also made two changes of substance to the code:

1. I fixed a problem with overflow checking. In the original code, if oldLength 
and prefGrowth were both very large (say, Integer.MAX_VALUE), this method could 
return a negative value. It turns out that writing tests helps find bugs!

2. Under the old policy, if oldLength and minGrowth required a length above 
SOFT_MAX_ARRAY_LENGTH but not above Integer.MAX_VALUE, this method would return 
Integer.MAX_VALUE. That doesn't make any sense, because attempting to allocate 
an array of that length will almost certainly cause the Hotspot to throw OOME 
because its implementation limit was exceeded. Instead, if the required length 
is in this range, this method returns that required length.

Separately, I'll work on retrofitting various call sites around the JDK to use 
this method.
