[PATCH] manual: Update alloca and variable length array documentation

[Florian Weimer]

I noticed this while reviewing Paul Eggert's string function changes.

The restriction about using alloca from parameter lists has been gone
since basically forever (there is no distinction at the GIMPLE level in
GCC because of the way SSA works).  I'm not sure if the malloc-based
alloca emulation was ever part of glibc, and certainly it would not have
worked for some uses of alloca inside the dynamic linker.
