```
std.ChildProcess: improvements to collectOutputPosix

 * read directly into the ArrayList buffers.
 * respect max_output_bytes

 * std.ArrayList:
   - make `allocatedSlice` public.
   - add `unusedCapacitySlice`.

I removed the Windows implementation of this stuff; I am doing a partial
merge of LemonBoy's patch with the understanding that a later patch can
add the Windows implementation after it is vetted.
