fix(arrays): reject inverted bounds and check array allocation

Constant inverted bounds are a compile error and other bounds are checked
at run time. Allocation sizes use overflow-checked arithmetic, and a NULL
malloc (including the BYVAL copy) reports that the array is too large.

+ARRAY bounds are inclusive and may be expressions; every dimension needs an upper bound that is at least the lower bound (constant bounds that are inverted are a compile error, other bounds a run-time error), and an array too large to allocate is a run-time error; multiple ranges create multiple dimensions. Access elements with `name[index, ...]`. Bounds are checked at run time; an invalid index throws an exception that TRY/CATCH can handle. Whole-array assignment is unsupported. Declare arrays before using them; arrays declared inside a control-flow block stay in that block.
 
 For class variables, an optional argument list after the type supplies constructor arguments, such as `DECLARE Item : Counter(3)`. Declarations zero storage and automatically construct class fields and array elements before calling the outer constructor. See [cpsc-keyword-class(7)](cpsc-keyword-class.7.md) for construction and NEW rebinding rules.
