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

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.
