flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end

Browse source 
Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space
should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users
and documentation are updated accordingly.  flex_arrays got introduced before
they had users.  When folks started using it, they ended up needing a
different API than was coded up originally.  This swaps over to the API that
folks apparently need.
