util_string: dynamically allocate and expand string lists (!88)
String lists grow dynamically, removing the need for preallocated arrays. This simplifies handling of large variable groups in the icon initialization phase. The output lists of `add_to_list` are now `ALLOCATABLE`. They may be passed an unallocated argument, which is treated like an empty list and allocated using the new `new_list` subroutine. That subroutine initially allocates space for 8 strings. Every time the list needs to grow, the allocated size doubles. This ensures constant amortized runtime for adding to the list. No provisions are made for shrinking the list size, because they are usually short-lived. The tests for `add_to_list` are adapted for the new interface, checking list expansion. A new test for `new_list` is added. Approved-by:Yen-Chen Chen <yen-chen.chen@kit.edu> Merged-by:
